I have no idea about the workings of Starcraft.
In general:
a) The host which is being masqueraded needs to send the first packet.
b) The remote end needs to send replies to the port from which the
outbound packet came.
c) If the remote end sends packets to a specific port, then you're out
of luck, as you can't specify which port will be used when the packets
are masqueraded.
d) Similarly, if IP addresses or ports are sent as part of the data,
then you're out of luck, as this data won't be changed by the
masquerading process.
Having said that, you may be able to get around the problems using
ipautofw (see the documentation of the CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPAUTOFW
option in Configure.help). However, you would probably need to know
some specific details of the protocol which is used.
