Don't drill me..for being a novice (as a member that reads a lot more than I post) But what about the lack of "landing-craft" availble at this time? It wasn't until the spring of 1943 that the U.S. started to really pump out amphibious vehicles. With the Pacific Theater eating up the availble craft. Not saying the "production" was the problem but maybe the allocation of these craft, the real problem. As Admiral King would of made the allocation very difficult, as he didn't care about anything else other than his Pacific theater.
