Hi everyone

I did get this to work in the end. Used the save file from May 1944, started next battle - an Assault in Normandy, went to view map, chose one of the beach maps Vierville Sur Mer that comes with the game. After you leave the view map screen the mission switched to Amphibious Assault, and I was able to buy stuff like LCG's and Battleships. When I went to deploy I'd been given all the landing craft I needed.

The problem was though that when I went to play the game the Germans were deployed too far up the beach - the deployment line was too far inland, so the battle was a bit boring.

So I started again, making my own map with the beach further to the right. This worked much better.

A bit of a pain, but amphibious assault is y favourite kind of battle.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try just starting over and over but after twenty attempts I still didn't get an amphibious assault mission and was getting bored of trying
