2nd Wave: Launch but do NOT send Cluster bombers with first wave. Time that wave to attack the turn after the first wave. You should have Fighter cover left from the previous turns attack for your cluster bombers. (keep a careful eye on any reinforcement the AI may bring to bare and strike there ships with Fighter-bombers from afar).

Third turn:
With the right amount of cluster bombers getting thru to the Planet (Observe that battle report and/or check the planets Last Unit cargo) you should now be ready to send in your main body with Troop Ships and a few Thousand Infantry (Fleet orders Capture Planet), be sure to have transports from the Home System ferrying troops on a regular bases, it may take in access of 6000-10000 infantry to capture a Home World in fair order.

That sounds like an epic battle!
