For all blizzard games it is 6112 default.

Where you are getting confused is that War III has a customizable game 
port - so you would forward one of each 6112, 6113 . . .  to each 
computer on your lan.

SC will receive and transmit on any of the ports 6112 - 6118 but it 
first has to receive a UDP packet on that port to start it.  It is 
possible to set this up using a linux box for routing or certain 
advanced box routers.

I imagine it is theoretically possible to setup the mapping from a 
firewall like program on the client computer - but AFAIK, no such 
application has been made.
