As the AIF fleet surrounds the initial Protoss attack force, 150 Harbingers of Annihilation and 50000 Lancethopters, specially equipped with long range Ion Cannons, exit warp outside disruption range, high in the sky, and open fire on the AIF cities and ships, with Ion blasts frying electronics throughout the country, including the AIFs reserve battle droids that are out in the open. Underground facilities are unaffected unless they are on a city power grid.

Grievers have now reached the AIF disruptors underground, and proceed to dig through into the bunkers, and begin attacking the troops within, slaughtering those who don't know what to aim at. In the bunkers that fall, the grievers begin ripping apart the disruptors and knocking them out, leaving gaping holes in the field, allowing Protoss reinforcements to slip through.

Those ships that make it to the ground immediately disgorge the 12th Legion out onto AIF soil. Those troops that made it begin firing on the AIF troops. The Protoss T-10s prove to be faster than the AIF MBTs, though their weaker armor allows them to be destroyed by most shots. The new T-20 however proves to have sufficient armor to engage the AIF tanks in head to head battles. The large numbers of T-15s sit on the hilltop in the back of the Protoss lines, firing their 305mm Photon cannons into the AIF tanks. T-13 artillery vehicles fire their auto-loading 406mm guns into AIF troops and tanks. T-18 AFVs swiftly move around the battlefield, firing shots into weak points in the AIF armor, though they are easily destroyed if the AIF tanks have the traverse to bring their guns around to shoot them.

In the air, overconfident AIF pilots, swinging around onto the tail of Protoss Z-40s, suddenly find themselves in the sights of the Z-40s' rear facing laser turrets, which have the elevation to shoot the AIF pilots above them as well. This causes the AIF planes to break off and regroup for another attack, and though the Z-40 is optimized for space combat the pilots, many of which are veterans from the Battle of Aiur and the Battle of Glacius (if you don't think it's legit, I'll revert my numbers back up (looking at you Orion)) manage to do pretty good in atmosphere. The Z-40s then unleash a devastating surprise, when they fly over the AIF tanks, and drop a large amount of bombs onto them.
