IIRC, the tracks on the Buffalo were somewhat narrow. I suspect if the mud was softer than anticipated, the tracks may have dug into the mud enough the hulls simply bottomed out and the Buffalo would be going nowhere until either enough tide came back in to refloat it, or a LAD could retrieve it.
Either way, pretty uncomfortable for the troops. Is there any mention in the records about sufficient air cover being provided for the landings? David
