I've had two games that had forces assaulting over a beach from open 
water. I have to saw that GRAV is really required to do one of these if 
there is any significant opposition on said beach. The Defenders were
dug 
in med tanks and mech infantry with a mine belt. 

A followup game had a two pronged attack down a ways from that beach on 
another onto a spaceport. One land force assaulted along a road axis. 
Another assulted over the beach again and had aircav and Aerospace 
support. The defenders had bunkers, Pillboxes and a few big emplaced 
guns. Plus Airfield security, a hvy tank platoon and a few detachments
of 
mech infantry.

Sometime soon I will do a riverine comabat game with PBRs hover craft, 
grav and LCMs.
