Ground Combat Lessons

IIRC the problem with this in strategic is if your transport doesn't have weapons you are correct it will be Last on the enemy targeting list, but it will not approach the planet until all the WP's are gone. Since you are not targetting the planet, your transport will never land troops at all.

The only way to get the transport to approach an armed planet is to have weapons onboard, and then it becomes a target for the defenders.

It is doable I am sure. It would take some testing of various fleet configurations to get the right mix between decoys and troop transports. But against a human player it would be harder cause they could simply modify the targeting to target closest first instead of biggest weapons.
