Not a 'Must Have' for myself as yet, but could be useful? Infantry Assault boats for river crossings.
British: those awful canvas collapsible things...for 'Rapido', 'Arnhem', etc. USA: ditto or inflatables, or, I think, what looks like some sort of rigid boat. German...I've mainly seen inflatables. But, Google Infantry Assault Boats and there is a lot of variety!
Waterline with crew or full hull pre-launch, post disembarkation...or cut up for WRECKS!

Probably not a big sell, but could provide some very challenging scenarios...and someone gaming a river crossing would would need LOTS of boats  :(  !

Post WW2, Gemini's or Rigid Raiders?

Just a thought.
