Starcraft Heroes – Jim Raynor

Jim Raynor was born on Mar Sara and raised by his grandfather, who taught him much about hunting and shooting. As he grew older he fought in the unit ‘Heaven’s Devils’ against the Kel-Moria Combine, but was withdrawn for insubordination and met Tychus Findlay at Camp McIntyre, who would later serve him faithfully.

Planets Starcraft – Mar Sara

Mar Sara was the eighth colony world settled by the former Terran Confederation. Although the planet is rather desolate and remote, its mining industry was once considered a key strategic resource. He was overrun by the Zerg and later cremated by the Protoss. Intrepid Terrans terraformed the planet and recolonized it in 2502.

Starcraft Units – Brood Lord

Defilers can also morph and transform into another form based on the Mantis Screecher nestling form. The Broodlord has thick insect armor and attacks by hurling large chunks of acid that have a longer range than the Defiler’s spray. However, this acid can only be aimed at targets that are on the ground below the attacker. These sentinels have no natural defenses against attacks from the air.

Starcraft Missions – Tactical Commends

In the simple scenarios you have 3 different places where you are attacked. A certain number of different units are available for defense. It’s up to you to find the right counter units and place your units in such a way that you lose as few units as possible.

Starcraft Buildings – Gateway

The Gateway is a unit production structure for the Protoss, responsible for warping in ground units. Gateways can be warped in by a Probe only within range of the Psionic Matrix, and only if the player controls a Nexus. Like most Protoss structures, the Gateway can only function if it remains within the Matrix, otherwise it becomes unpowered.

Starcraft

Starcraft is a turn-based game. The active player receives the obligatory first player token, so it should always be clear whose turn is being played, and especially interesting: StarCraft does not require any dice at all.
To get started, you first have to agree on your faction, then gather all the necessary figures, cards and tokens of your faction (woe betide the game master who only starts sorting now!) and leave the table in the middle free, as this is where the galaxy, i.e. the playing field, is built.

This proceeds similarly to Twilight Imperium.

Each player draws two planet tokens, which they can use to pick their planets from the planet stack. This step is necessary because the planet cards are shaped differently and the tokens are the only way to ensure that the drawing is random.
The starting player then places his first planet in the center of the table and can already build a base – but he doesn’t have to, then he has to do it on his second planet as soon as he lays it out.
Once the first planet is in place, it is the next player’s turn to lay out his first planet and connect it to the previous player’s planet with a navigation route cardboard piece. The last player may lay out both planets at the same time and then it goes in reverse order to the starting player. This way a more or less interconnected galaxy is created.
Finally, Z-axes are laid, which are navigation routes across loose ends, sort of a 3D conversion.
Each player receives the corresponding resource cards for his two planets and then only the event cards are reduced according to the number of players, shuffled and placed on the board. There are three event card phases, which is symbolized by different card backs and should help the game to become faster and more powerful towards the end. Now the game can start.

Each round is divided into three phases.
