Amphibious assault occurs much the same way as sea transport, with a few twists.
1) You need amphibious transport points rather than sea transport;
2) It costs varying numbers of amphibious points for moving differing types of units, example 1 for a division, 3 for a corps, 6 for a tank corps, and so on (don't quote me on the exact costs);
3) load the unit on the amphibious transport at a port, or next to a port (I think);
4) next turn you can move the amphibious transport to or towards the sea zone adjacent to the beaches to be assaulted;
5) next turn AFTER arriving at the assault sea zone, you can do the assault;
6) One of those undocumented F keys shows which coastal hexes can be targets for assault;
7) When you execute the assault it the game will clearly mark where you can assault from that sea zone.
If you look back in the forums, I recently did a write-up on a test case for SeaLion. Also, rasputitsa did a writeup I think a few years ago, concerning house rules for an amphibious assault, incorporating realistic planning and logistics.
If I were you, I would try out the amphibious assault system in a test scenario before doing it in a scenario you want to complete, just to get the mechanics down.
If I recall correctly, players have complained about the overlord scenario, either they didn't understand the amphibious system or it had a CTD.
Whenever you are willing and able, hit me up for a PBEM game.
