In World War II, the greatest problem for the Allies in establishing a second front in Europe was the shortage of landing craft. To be successful, amphibious landings on defended shores required large first waves of attackers supported by vehicles followed up by substantial reinforcements, including more vehicles. All this required landing craft in such numbers as the Allies weren't able to muster until 1944.
