This doesn't really count as an epic "moment", but ...
I went back and did the other choice for this mission (Haven's Fall), and I completely ANNIHILATED the mission. I built up a mixed force of Air Vikings, Marines, and Medics, which was very effective. All I had to do was put a bunker (later, two) on my flanks and my base was golden.
After I saved the first colonist base, I maxed my economy; built my army up, adding Groung Vikings and SCVs to the mix; and just started brutalizing every Zerg force I touched. It was so ridiculous that the only challenge was when I'd attack a Zerg home base, and an infected colonist base would pop up, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to destroy the Zerg base, get over to the colonist base, and destroy the Zerg infestation and still be in time to save the colonists. But I always did. I didn't lose a single colonist base!
By the end, I was thinking, "Am I really on Hard mode?" But apparently I was, since I got all 3 achievements plus two more for finishing the colonist achievements. Go me?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia. Thanks WordsofWisdom!
