Re: Cross Over from FT3 (Fleet Book) to DirtSide and StarGrunt

Phillip spake thusly upon matters weighty: 

25 points means I can hold one size 3 APC in a cargo point. How many 
troops awake can I accomodate with a CP? (assuming I need to travel 
with them). How many in cold sleep? (I assume this is how Marine 
assault ships would ship 90% of their contingent). Got any quotations 
from the rules or suggestions to answer these?
