Did you know if you land a large number of troops on a planet and they do not win by the end of ground combat, but some still remain, they will continue to fight over the course of the next few turns until they are defeated or win. I did not know this and found it out in one of my STM beta trials.
My mods make heavy use of that.
1 round of ground combat per turn.

That also means you can use lots of small transports to attack a planet, instead of having to use huge do-it-all-alone transports.

Plus, with combat taking so long to finish, the enemy has a chance to counter-attack, destroy or scatter your fleet, and then drop reinforcements of their own!
