How to install Starcraft? (Complete Newby)

[matthewd49]

Ok, so i recently switched over to ubuntu about two days ago so please be patient with my "uber newbiness." I have installed WINE, and then installed Starcraft, and whenever i try to log onto battle.net it crashes. I then searched for solutions and found one but it had to do with installing wine tools, which i tried but it just completely went over my head. So can anyone walk me through this, remember i've only been running Ubuntu for approximately two days so some very detailed and "dumb downed" help would be appreciated.

I may very well join you, been a while since my last Starcraft game.
To be honest though, look into Age of Empires III as well as Quake Live http://www.quakelive.com/
