Are you saying that Shield Depleters will actually damage non-shield hitpoints on other troops and kill them?
Slick.
I thought that was fixed? ISTR that used to be a problem, but I think it got fixed in the Last patch.

Re: What are the specific mechanics of Ground Combat?
I'm pretty sure that's still True.
Small Shield Depleter is an Uber Troop Weapon, you just have to be willing to ignore the fact that it makes little sense.

Re: What are the specific mechanics of Ground Combat?
It works in simulator, at least. Just captured the planet with troops armed with Small SD only.
Edit: forgot to mention that planet was filled with unarmed, but shielded/armored troops. They were destroyed completely. It was a simulation, though.

11. Pick up troops afterwards.
Not specifically nessasary for ground combat, but suggested for continuing ground combat.
