[GZG] A planetary assault as a wargames campaign

Subject: [GZG] A planetary assault as a wargames campaign

Given all the ideas floating around there seems to be some good ideas
for a 
campaign of planetary assault in a Full Thrust or similar universe.

The GZG universe states that there were land battles between the Kravak
and 
Humans.

I'd be interested as to the strategies both the attacker and the
defender 
can take.

The attacker has the edge in technology (Elite assault units and all)
but 
maybe not in numbers. The defenders have the advantage of local terrain 
knowledge and support.

I'm not sure that heavy armour would be that common on either side, its 
difficult for the attacker to transport and land and would be a very 
expensive luxury for a colony, so light armoured vehicles or grave
effect 
vehicles might be the order of the day.

What strategies are available to the defender other than insurgency
warfare? 
If the defenders mass up and try to go out and engange the attackers in
an 
open battle they risk and orbital strike or are just playing into the 
attackers hands by fighting the war their way.

John
