How should i have approached this situation? I might have been able to drop some tanks and goliaths in the main base closest to me and begin mining from there and building factories there. That seems like the most viable thing I could have done at this point. Would it be better to break the defenses outside of my natural and try to take another main?

In current ASL, sSak used his own wraith squad to lure Last's wraiths to the wrong side of the map while doing a big-ass drop in his main. That's what brought the idea, not my personal experience. | ||

it's much easier to break a contain when there are not many tanks in it abuse vision via floating buildings/wraiths/scvs or use your production to throw units (including scvs) at it sometimes you can break with dropship support if you can't break it at all use dropships to move around the map here's a vod of flash breaking a contain: | ||

Breaking out of contains is a pretty difficult task that requires good knowledge of balancing counter-attacks and contain breaks...the only advice I can give to you here is that you should try to scout where the majority of his army is before you decide to act. If all of his tanks are at his front, and he has no mobile tank/wraith forces, you should highly consider dropships and wraith play. If he has his force split into a contain and a mobile force, then breaking is usually a good answer. In other words, scout his tank movements -- 5 tanks or less is easy to break out of with minimal losses, while 6 tanks and upwards tends to be pretty costly. | ||
