I know that there were various plans for an amphibious assault to the North of the Hindenburg line. This included and effort to use floating tanks in support of the 1917 Ypres offensive. This 1918 concept fascinates me and I would love to know more. However my knowledge of Allied planning in 1918 suggests that such an assault would not have happened until 1919. The great offensives (Allied) of 1918 were all rather ad-hoc affairs. I would love to know more about this and it may link in with some of the plans for Agincourt post war.
