I am under attack. How to deal with it tactically?

Let the aggressor do the first moves, let him use his movement points and shots. Then, when he came near, you can react accordingly around him. To do that, you should have let at least some stationary turrets on manuell, so they have still some shots left!
Always useful, one mobil missle luncher or assault gun in a transportplane. Fly towards the enemies, unload, shot-destroy , load and leave the dangerzone again. Because he is fighting in your territory he hardly should be able to copy this move.

In desperation use kamikaze- minelayers. When he has 8 movement points, put 8 mines into it and drive between the opponents force.

In desperation build for 24 minerals lots of turrents in one move and be ready you trigger the next round, so you can get at least some pios out. Those new expensive turrents should slow him down.

In desperation always good to have a repair unit near by.

When you are sure, your front defense will fall, build another line deeper in the back, while still fighting at the front. Some missleturrets should help to stabilize.

If you could kill an unit, do so. Your opponent should not be allowed to repair it. But use minimum force. Do not overkill, e.g. kill the scout with a missleturret, when you could finish it off with a little turret and have a tank as a possible aim in range.

Kamikaze pioneers are loaded with 2 minerals and build a connector or something. The opponent will not know, what you are building and is likely to shoot at it anytime he can. That might save some time also. But I`d say, you are probably very deperate.

Get a mobil radar. When you are blind, you have to scan with kamikaze units and you already are on the road of defeat.

A trooper or any unit downloaded from a plane onto you mines, will not let them explode them. You habe to trigger those mines manually!
