IMHO rasing the effectiveness of the militia would work fine. We don't really need actuall unit-unit battles do we?

Yes, we need unit-to-unit battles. It's absurd to imagine that you could destroy every single tank on the shore with bombardment from ships and then land your own tanks unopposed. There are all sorts of ways to hide and disguise a tank from long-range attack. But in SE it is assumed that when you hit a planet you always hit something functional, so you can wipe out every single unit on the surface of a planet from space. There ought to be a way for troops to survive bombardment as effectively as militia.
