4.12: The Weasel/Jeffy | [Back to the WarGuide]
Here's a couple great uses for the cheap and fast Weasel/Jeffy: 1) Make one VERY strong attack force, say like a ton of Cans, Goliaths, some Storms, Pyros, A few Raiders and Intimidators, you get the point. Then make a seperate force of just Weasels. Make sure your Weasel force is about 3 times the size of your strong attack force. Assign them to hotkeys and send them both into the enemy's base. You opponent should concentrate on attacking the larger force, from what he sees on the minimap. This should buy you enough time to get your strong force into his base with a small amount of opposition. Since the Weasels are considerably faster than the Cans or Goliaths, include about 2 Cans in the Weasel group and have the weasels guard them, then send the Cans into the base. This way both of your forces should arrive at about the same time. Above is an example of the Weasel mind trick. I had more Weasel's than this, but they all wouldn't fit on the screen. You can see what I mean though, if these two groups were coming at your base, you would robably go for the largest one, giving the smaller, more powerful group a chance to get closer. 2) Beginning game spotting. Towards the middle and end it is better to use Peepers/Finks, but Weasels/Jeffys make good starting game spotters.
