Bunker rush

The Bunker Rush is a terran strategy used in Starcraft 1 and 2. The primary purpose of a bunker rush is to slow down an enemy's fast expand. Since zerg players are typically the fastest expanders, this counter strategy works best against them.

==	How to==

If a terran player notices that an opponent is not going for an early production building (barracks, gateway, or spawning pool) with a scouting SCV, he can safely assume his enemy is saving minerals for a command center/nexus/hatchery. To delay the construction of this building at the natural expansion, he can leave the main base and begin constructing a bunker outside the ramp or choke point that seperates the main from the natural. This will likely attract the attention of the terran player's enemy who will typically respond by sending harvestors to kill the SCV and destroy the bunker before it is completed. Good micro is nessecary for the terran player to keep the SCV alive until his first marine can arrive from his main to kill the attacking harvestor. A player using a bunker rush can expect more harvastor haressment which will slow down the defender's mineral income. Additional marines are necessary to keep attackers at bay and kill any builder that will try and put down a base at the natural expansion. This bunker will keep the opponent confined until they can counter with tier one units. It will have slowed down the fast expand and ideally killed a few harvestors.
