Re: Ground Combat
In stock, 10 troops will take a colony world with no guards and will have a few losses. 20 will take it with almost no losses. For a homeworld class planet with 4 to 8 thousand million people, you need a little more than 100 troops for just the militia.
Guards troops must be matched with an even firepower ratio or even a little more than that to make up for them firing first. If the battle goes longer than the 10 round first try, there will be few troops surviving even after a victory. Send twice as many and then it will fall.
If defending against a troop attack, build more troops! Even if you are almost done with the multi-turn ship build, cancel it and build some troops. Boycotted planets can still build. Transfer troops from moons in the same sector if possible. Unless he has more transports with troops close he can not invade the other worlds.
