The Best Defense Achievement – Mission: Zero Hour

This achievement took a lot of trial and error to come up with.  The most important thing to do is to wall off the base with two supply depots on your right where the bunker is, if you fill that bunker with 4 marines and put 3 scv’s in that area the enemies will not be able to run through or destroy anything there until the last minute you will hold them off and can ignore that entire area.  The computer will be confused and run circles on the bridge while your Marines in the bunker kill them so this allows you to ignore the top right base.

That leaves the top left base, and the far left base where you’ll be attacked from.  If you watch the video I sit by the bunker with a bunch of units and wait for the first two attacks to come through after that I charge to the a joint point between both those bases and start bunkering in.  While that is going on I have medics coming and a lot of marines that are upgraded being pumped.  Once that army is amassed to a decent size I’ll start bunkering my way toward the top left base which I’ve found to be the weakest base.

You destroy the defensive structures and units first by pulling stuff back to your bunkers eventually that base will weaken where you can take out the Hatcheries, from there you need to immediately take out with all of your units the far left base, because once the timer goes under 2 minutes the Zergs will start to mass produce units and it will be nearly impossible to send any force into that base to get the other two hatcheries you need for the achievement.

You can see by doing this strategy my home base was substantially weak in the last minute and I barely completed the mission but I got the achievement which is what we are after.
