Re: River crossing battle tactics
A BTR co costs about 850 points with BTR60 (2010) and you really need 3, so probably only try the BTR rush if you have 3K points free after buying arty and some leg engineer platoons and a few leg only support grunt coys to do the initial assault with. (perhaps then a tactic for a battle generator game where you don't have core to coddle then?).
A plain Jane 'Type A' rifle coy is ~270 points in 2010. So 3 for 1 over the BTRS.
Your core mech in swimming APC - should follow on and the APC perhaps be used to ferry support leg grunts over. Otherwise the core mech troops should probably hold the salient, and only move out at the end.
