Probably one of the missions that I somewhat recall the map's layout but not recalling how much space the main enemy's base occupies.

[MISSION II: DUNES OF SHAKURAS]
- Establish a base and find the Dark Templar
[After building a base and fending off the Zerg attack]
- Secure the warp gate and destroy the Zerg base
Right off the start, send your four Zealots and Probes to the west where you will find mineral fields and a vespene geyser. This will be the site of your starting base. Warp in a couple of Pylons and a Nexus with your starting minerals.
Once the Nexus and the pylons are finished warping in, a scripted Hydralisk attack will occur and AI-controlled dark templar will appear to attack the incoming hydralisks. Once they are all dead, a dialogue ensues and the Dark Templars are given control to the player and receives the new mission objective of destroying the Zerg base.
Start building up your economy and through the tech tree. If you are interested in an expansion - there are two areas - one directly south of your base which is guarded by Sunken and Spore Colonies, this has both minerals and vespene gas. There's also an expansion to the east which is guarded by a few Zerg units but this one only has mineral fields. Attacks from the main Zerg base usually consists of Zerglings and Hydralisks but that should be easy to take care of. They'll also send some Mutalisks but a few well-placed Photon Cannons can easily take care of that.
Attacking the Zerg base which sprawls across the east and southeast area of the map can done in two ways - a surgical and an "in-your face" approach. For the latter choice, you can go for squads of Zealots, Dragoons and Archons and overwhelm them with sheer numbers. The approach I used is a surgical attack wherein I used Dark Templars to take on the initial Sunken Colonies guarding the ramp before using Dragoons and Reavers to take on the rest of their base similar to how I use Goliaths and Siege Tanks together.
Once the Zerg presence is removed, this mission ends in a victory.
