The Hammer Falls StarCraft 1: Terran Mission 10

Back to: Terran Mission 9: New Gettysburg.

The Hammer Falls StarCraft 1

The Hammer Falls is the 10th mission of the Terran Campaign in Blizzard's RTS of 1998, StarCraft 1. Staged on a Tarsonis space platform, the Hammer Falls sets the Former Colonial Militia of the Terran against the Alpha Squadron of the Confederacy and Elite Guard of the Sons of Korhal. In addition, the Hammer Falls introduces the Ion Cannon as well as the Science Vessel unit of the Terran.

The Science Vessel is primarily used to counter Ghost cloaking. The SV should hover about in front of the Siege Tanks.

Nukes are provoked if too many Siege Tanks are clumped together. Keep them moving or spread them out. Work towards the center of the map: that will be your launchpad for the assault on the Ion Cannon's platform (Dropships carrying Siege Tanks). I took out the enemy bases in the east and west first. Don't move to the center of the map until you have 10 Siege Tanks and one Science Vessel. You don't need Battlecruisers at all: Siege Tanks crush everything as long as they have spotters. There is only one enemy Battlecruiser that you can take out with Marines or Goliaths.

The Hammer Falls Mission Objectives

• Destroy the Ion Cannon.
• Raynor must survive.
