• Edmund Duke must survive

Conditions for losing

• All your structures are destroyed
• Edmund Duke dies

Your buildings start off floating in a southeastern corner. Load your forces into Dropships and unload them to the west. Tell your buildings to follow, and you can take advantage of the add-on buildings left behind by landing your various buildings beside them, and getting free add-ons.

Use your Nuclear Silos to your advantage by building Nukes for later use. Make Bunkers near the ramp that goes to the northwest, and stock them for defense.

When you have enough minerals from your two resource spots, get a bunch of Wraiths, Marines, Siege Tanks and Goliaths and ready them.

Before you attack, build two Ghosts and nuke the area to the north, taking care not to walk within range of the Missile Turrets. Have a Science Vessel scout for you or something. After the nuclear explosion clears, move your forces in and attack the weakened base. Take over their mineral areas and set up your own base.

Secure the area from the north and the northeast. Nuke the north and push forward with your remaining forces, which should be enough to wipe them out. Take over that area too and build a large force of Siege Tanks, Goliaths and Wraiths.

Have two nukes ready again and try to nuke the northeastern base before demolishing it with your attack force. That should be enough to win the mission.
