Speaking of riverine craft--
I am in the process of preparing a scenario (to be run on the 20th at
the 
local game shop) that gives one side some riverine forces (as well as
other 
stuff) to try and stop an attack force consisting of a high proprtion of
grav 
vehicles.  I am even scratch building a small LCM-Monitor type vessel
(just 
putting the finishing touches on it now).

In this scenario, just about everything is either grav or hover or boat 
(except for the PBI of course).
