Campaigns - Troop ships

Has anyone used troop ships in their campaigns?

This might give the strategic defender an edge if the attacker was required to
purchase troop ships as part of the assault force.

I haven't done any campaigns as such but I have doen a couple of scenarios
with them.  The last one I played against fellow listmember / Boisean
Mike Johnson and the idea was to land as many marines on the planet to salvage
a crashed ship. The basic write up is at
http://netnow.micron.net/~ericski/scenario.htm

It was a nice deviation from close and kill.

I hope to do a combined scenario where both sides are trying to land troops
which later become the basis for a Dirtside scenarion, but that's a few months
away...
