No, the one with the flame wave that travels slowly across the map and will burn you if you don't keep relocating your base.  The mission that unlocks the banshee.

Pretty much just attacked with banshees while spending all the money at home to build more.  Probably the only mission I spent absolutely 0 money on getting defense at all.  When I went on attacks, I placed an SCV on their main attack path to warn me of when I need to pull my air force back and defend with it.  At the very end, having no defense came to bite me as they rolled rampant through my base when I was busy sacking theirs, but I survived by lifting off the buildings and flying them to where my army was.

I did similarly. I just kept getting mass banshees and a few vikings for the random phoenixes. I had all my buildings except CC and Starport following my banshees around the map. At the end of the map, when it was time to take on the artifact, I killed off my scvs and sat in the lower right corner of the map while the flames destroyed almost all the last protoss base, then I went in and killed off the artifact. The main reason for this was for the achievement to not lose any units to the flames, and get 75 kills with cloaked banshees. I ended up spending 100 minerals for a bunk that I placed at the front of each base, and would salvage when it was time to move. 4 marines and a couple scvs kept that in check.
