Hello, my name is Paul Wolfstien. I felt like writing (rather copying the units of Starcraft: Brood War. I know there were more than a few times that I wanted to find out what some of the abilities of the new units did and I 1: Didn't want to check through a big FAQ. 2: Didn't want to just try it out myself, because that usually never works. Therefore I have brought you this FAQ today!

I (Paul Wolfstien) take NO CREDIT AT ALL for the information in this FAQ. This IS
NOT my work. This was taken directly from the Starcraft: Brood War Units explination that you can find by going through the start menu. I just recently found this myself and have thus decided to put this out over gamefaqs for everyone to see. The info in this FAQ is copyright 1998 Blizzard Entertainment.

WRITTEN PERMISSION to use this FAQ! I will most likely let you use it ... but just ask!
If not, you will be sued for all the money your worth, and trust me, I have a FUN time finding these things out. Also, the FAQ must be UNCHANGED. Thank you very much.

This FAQ will ALWAYS be found at www.gamefaqs.com! If YOU see this FAQ ANYWHERE else, please e-mail me at paulwolfstien@aol.com so I can get legal about it. If you help me out, I can sue. If I can sue, I can get money. If I get money, YOU get money. Think about it.

Now that all the legal BS is out of the way. Onto the FAQ, Mon ami!
