Well In my on going effort to show you as many types of effective lists as possible here is a new wrinkle to the meta game.
1st Infantry CV 20 HQ 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Field Artillery Battery CT Corps Support 210 Towed TD Platoon 3inch guns 345 5x Sherman
1715 so you have some wiggle room.
For those of you not used to this each boat section comes with a Flamethrower, 2 bazookas, 1 60mm mortar and 5 rifle teams. This list also gives you the nifty rule that it will ALWAYS attack against infantry in a DB and the boat teams count as pioneers when dealing with fortifications.

I am thinking about building the 29th. I tweaked your list to suit me. Do you think it would do well in a tourny?
What I was thinking was.
HQ 20 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Boat Section 190 Towed Tank destroyers 210 3 bazookas 45 Chemical Mortors 135 2 calvery Recon Patrols 195
10 platoons 1745pts
I changed some stuff because in my experiance the Shermans are more of a liability than an asset with all the big armour they could face. They don't have anything to back them up and they don't have enough punch to be helpful unless you go against an all infantry player with no arty or AT. You spend more time keeping them alive than killing. An extra boat section would be far more useful. Recon is very nice since you will always attack so the rest of the points can buy 2 Calvery recon platoons.
I was also wondering about the arty. Not the most effective killer and expensive. All you need is a pin and the 4.2 motors will do that and have almost as much punch as the 105s.

Dunno you need a fast element that can do more than throw spit wads albiet a sherman is a pop gun but atleast it can punch a panthers flank those cav guys need the panther to roll a 1
