The GSP ferry you can buy in the Misc section from 1969 onwards.
It has the same land speed of a barge carrier, some armor (it is a bit of a necessary fudge but it means it have a chance against artillery) and can move both on land and on water (albeit a bit slower than a barge in water) without the need to be loaded and offloaded.

Yep Ive got 6 of these GSP ferries and 6 Barge carriers as back up. Its looking good though, Ive got my light tanks across and Im just sending over my Pokpung and Chonma ho's.
Its turn 40 of 60 and the battle has unfolded. I used a couple of fake crossings, one empty and one with cheap fodder infantry which got mauled by Javelins and arty. My scaled down BTR rush combined with Para air drop and Paras and Hinds was also a bit mauled. BTRs were blown out of the water by Javelins.
The Paras and Hinds did better and were able to get a foot hold. Strangely the enemy(US 2010) hasnt got any anti air so my Hinds had free reign, Ive took out all their 81 and 60mm mortars and no off map arty is coming down from them. Also got some amphib inf across and was able to expand the landing zone and move up towards the objectives meeting little resistance, before moving over the engineers and light inf, followed by core APC's. Hinds retreated from ground fire now.
Ive took out a lot of Javelins but there are still one or two around. Ive took the two objectives/groups of hexes near the river and was pushing onto the third inland but had a few tanks and apcs taken out by 1 Javelin. Running out of arty as well.
