	Here is the way I am handling it for my FT campaign (5 or 6 FT
scenarios 
dealing with the 3rd Solar War - more on this later). The third scenario
the 
ESU attack a majoe planet held by the NAC.  The victory condictions are
to 
get the transports into the "atmospheric window" (see More Thrust for
the 
idea) and keep force loses to a minimum.  (This game is running at my
game 
club in March)
	Depending on the number of troops transports that make it into
the window, 
will determine the amount of troops for the SG II game. I have set the 
number of troops they get if no ships make it. Each transport has a 
percentage that if the ship makes it adds to the total troops.	(To
clarify 
this, here is an example, but the actual numbers are not).  There are 5 
transport ships, four are 3% and the fifth is worth 5%.  If no ships
make it 
the invading force get 100% of the assigned amount. If all ships make
it, 
the invading force gets 117% of the assigned amount.
