Terran infantry and the Goliath

Marines, Medics and Marauders are the classic Terran infantry combination: plenty of Marines, backed by Marauders and supporting Medics. The Goliath rounds it out as the starter's only machine.

The rulebook lists an example army from this starter (Terran Armed Forces faction): 9 Marines, two units of 2 Marauders, 3 Medics and the Goliath, exactly 1000 minerals with upgrades. One box gives you a complete Skirmish list.

Terran Starter Set or Founders Edition

Terrans also come in the Two Player Starter Set - Founders Edition, together with a Zerg army, Jim Raynor, terrain, a playmat and dice. This starter is a Terran army with a Goliath, no hero and no dice. Add a hero with Jim Raynor & Point Defense Drone and more units with Marine or Siege Tank expansions.

Table size and game length

1000 minerals is the Skirmish scale: a 36 x 36 in (approx. 92 x 92 cm) battlefield. According to the publisher such a game takes about an hour once both players know the rules. The starter has no playmat or terrain; the Lost Temple set adds a playmat and 15 terrain pieces. When your army grows to 2000 minerals, you play at Standard scale on a 36 x 54 in table.
