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.

used on ANY web-site as long as you follow these guidelines. 1: There are NO BANNERS
on the page where this FAQ will be seen IE-Above the FAQ. Also, you must have my FULL
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.
(Note: If I let you use this FAQ on your web-page I will have a written record from you
saying that I allowed you to use my FAQ. This will be an e-mail. (Obviously) I will always
print that out, as should you, for reasons I shouldn't have to explain.)
Now that all the legal BS is out of the way. Onto the FAQ, Mon ami!
