The FULL THRUST option was the way a friend and I went, using the MORE
THRUST transport rules and just assigning size classes to all the EPIC
units. The problem is that the campaign can drag a little if the space game
is particularly complex. What we really wanted to do was fight the fleet's
approach to the planet and then the landing in the same afternoon. Never
worked that way. Always thought the fleet actions through teatime and ended
up having to wait a couple of weeks to play the planetary assault.

Cheers,
Colin
