I see the Russians had amphibious tanks at their disposal, any clues on how BTS will model the use of these.

Germans also had some. Actually not really amphibious but...

...underwater!

Yes, underwater, they were PzIII, IIRC, with some additional sealing and air suply hose. They where able to submerge some 10-12m underwater. Initially they were developed for "Unternehmen Seelowen" - plan of attacking Great Britan (they where supposed to go across English Chanel).

But before Barbarosa started they where deployed in some bridge-less area. Paul Carell in his book states that approximately 80 vehicles croseed Buga river and engaged Soviet forces.
