Removed the TL:DR note actually because it confused people. If you want to read it, you will have to read it.

Lets see if I actually get time to write something for stalkers and zerglings as well. I haven't done it yet after all this time so it could give you hints. . . but there is a slight slight chance that I will do it if I take time.

It's far easier to micro-kite Marines by using stutter-step (move, stop, move, stop) instead of a-move, stop, a-move, stop. That way you only need 1 keyboard button instead of two, and prevent misclicks that lock your cursor (pressing A and then S won't work and your marines die)


Best is to click backwards and attack with A move.

really good thread :) But I have a question. Kitting against protoss with mm seems good, but not with force fields :( I tried to kit him, but he just blocked my way, and I lost most of my army, any solution to this problem??

It is better to hold cuz then they attack right away... if you stop they hold on for one attack and dont get shot on 1 time =/

"So splitting your marine+marauder army from your medivacs will make the medivacs constantly healing while your kite with the marine and marauders."

DO NOT do this, if you don't move your medivacs with your army they will get killed by stalkers or archons or mutalisk. They are verry cost-effective units when you have your bio tanking the damage, but if the medivacs get focused they die rather quickly and you lose the healing making stim dangerous and causing your units to die faster. Also the longer the game goes on, you'll usually not upgrade air armor but you will upgrade bio units. Your medivacs will die even more easily so keep this in mind. IF you have a verry small bio force and you dont mind losing a few medivacs only then it will be usefull to seperate the medivacs.
