Unless you get off the beaches in the opening turns and land units in phases instead of when they arrive, you're going to take a beating on the beaches.
Floating HQ's would help with Disruption and ammunition checks.
Though I made the comment about Engineers, it also applies to the tanks and LVT's that land, as those also won't have an on-map HQ for a while.
The situation is worse for Corps troops, as the Corps HQ arrives later than divisional HQ's. Divisional HQ's arrive on turn 4 and 5, Corps HQ's on turn 11.
I just play single player but I see what you are saying. Gonna take a look at that.
Just for giggles I made up a graphics counter...now research the data for a floating NAV AGC HQ unit that leaves in 5 turns.
FWIW I have LEARNED to land in phases but it can still be brutal.
