Alrighty, so.
I have a question.
I'm playing in bronze so I am still kinda.. sucky at the more eloquent tactics even though I can deal with speedlings and such pretty easily. What I do have problems with is a terran player who has walled off his base, has close to 10 siege tanks in siege mode defending the ramp and pretty much the entire base and has like 20 missile turrets all around the base and as if that isn't horrible enough - battlecruisers as well.

Precisely that terran turtle happened yesterday to me and my friend in 2v2 and it ended in them winning because I just couldn't take that crap anymore and quit the entire game for the day.

So, how do I break a terran turtle such as what I described above when playing Toss?
 
Out expand him while he's stuck in his wall, build more stuff, get upgrades, break wall.

Guardian shield against tanks (tanks are getting nerfed btw, not fun seeing your whole army getting melted). Immortals soak up tank fire really well.

Chargelots help a lot to break into the wall aswell. Battlecruisers shouldn't be a problem with enough stalkers and ht's for feedback.

If he's turtling you really should be expanding, going up your tech-tree and getting upgrades as much as possible. Here's a thought, counter-turtle by surrounding hi base with cannons.
 
why did you let him get battlecruisers?
btw just expo and get tier 3 and trololo with carriers
:p
 
Definitely try boxing him in and just outwaiting, he should run out of minerals and units eventually if you just play smart

My friend couldn't find a suitable spot for reaper rushing cause they literally had siege tanks everywhere and I couldn't enter his base seeing as my Warp Prism got its' ass handed to it before it could even get close to unloading.
So we decided to get more units and by the time we had done that they had battlecruisers and crap. We got his main base destroyed and then found out he had expanded and done the same turtletac there times 10,000.

Won't let that happen again. >>
 
There is a food limit, if he put so many minerals into tanks that would mean he wouldn't of been able to get much else.
 
yeah if i ran into this i would just turtle up myself and expand, continue watching his base to see if he tries to expand and then attack that with a sizable force to let him know your just waiting. if you get lucky he might send his stuff for you and you dominate him... then hes out of mins and you can crush him :D (happened to me before at least)
