If you're talking about the ones in the south on the minimap, they got very close but none of them ran into the fire. I did leave the Ghosts down there by accident though... poor guys.
This was Godlike ownage. My strategy on brutal was just to keep my starting banshees alive and mass vikings. I snuk my troops through the top and barely managed to kill the building with 2 vikings alive on the ground and a single banshee towards the end. A few cheeky scan + mule were used to pick up the relics. while I was amassing a rather pitiful army. I moved out once the firewave hit my starting base with about 5 banshees and 10 vikings or so. floated a factory behind my army to not lose entirely. That was my sole building remaining.
