Saipan 1944

Dear Jay,
I'm playing scenario 1 and I'm facing a few problems with LTVs. Basically it is very important to figure out clearly how long (i.e. how many turns) it takes them to take lend and unload.
It does not seem that you replied to this Enrique's question (sorry if I'm wrong):

"AMPHIBIOUS MOVEMENT
- Amphibious units have two movement types: aquatic and terrestrial (# / #). I think the number before the dash is land movement allowance and the number after the dash is water movement allowance. Right?
- The rules do not indicate if it is possible aquatic and terrestrial movement in the same action segment. I play as if only a movement type is possible in each action segment (for example, an amphibious unit can not move in the ocean, land on the beach and penetrate in the island in the same action segment). Right?"

May I ask you to give us a few examples?
E.g can LTV unit that is two hex away from the beach can arrive and unload in the same action segment?
It would be 1 mp of naval movement + 3 mp terrain movement for the beach hex + 1 terrain movement for unloading infantry.
I take that when the LTV arrives in the beach hex it pays 3mp for terrain mechanised movement ... but it could be argued that since it arrives from the sea while reaching the shore for the last time it pays 1mp with naval movement.

Was my question clear?

Thanks a lot
Ottavio
