help me im a noob!!

[own3d0406]

I was playing a TvT game, we both have 3 bases. I send almost everything I've got to attack their main, when I get there, the base is suprisingly lightly defended, because he's sent all his troops to attack my main! So should I go back and try to save my main or just finish destroying his?

I'd say just never send everything you've got at a base without first ComSat scanning it.
If you did that you would not send too many units and leave yourself open to attack.

The person you were playing probably knew you were attacking him.
If you want to save your base it depends on how far away you are. Don't go running across and 256x256 map, lol!

some say that it is good to send all units, some say to keep some... i just send my untis as soon as some new ones are finished being trained (that is without scanning or using obs), but a coutner is a better attitude to take in a war... depends up to you actually... if he has more bases than you (i.e. he desotryed your nat and you only have a main and he has 2 nats + main) maybe you should go back since he killing just one of his bases won't damage him much...

i think you should kill his base. i mean, by the time your forces get back, he would have already caused some heavy damage to your base.

If his base isn't defended then kill it! At the same time at least try to save as much of your base as possible and make sure you can get an scv or two into their base to start building another set of factories. This is known as "swaping space". It really just keeps the playing field even however if you destroy more of his force at your main then he'll be at a disadvantage and you can try to assault an expo or two before he build back up.

Send in your vults to kill workers and mine his factories and have your tanks try to contain his forces on the way out of your base. Also, if he went tank/vult with few golis, you could try lifting off a lot of your buildings and flying to another main.

Remember, as soon as something like this happens, start building depots/tech in another base immediately. If you get slowed down by that, more likely than not it's over.
