You definetly don't "lose all ground combats". It's simply a matter of needing more troops to have the same effect. Whether it's two times or four times I don't know. Against most planets, I hardly notice a difference. It's only when trying to capture a planet with a lot of population like a homeworld, or one where the defender has built some defensive troops. Against the normal colony with a couple hundred million population the piddling few defensive militia generated still are unable to stop even a small transport full of early tech small troops. You might lose one or two where you wouldn't have lost any.
