Five slab-armoured walkers whose glowing cables link their plating. A tank squad for the front line.
On the battlefield
The Anvil is a front-line tank squad: five slab-armored machines at 5,217 HP each, with cannons that splash at 95 m. Five bodies make it hard to focus down, and its splash punishes light units: in the launch tests it beats the Hexguard, the Ridgeback, the Courser, the Heron and the Salvo, and from 800 supply up the Skitter. It deals little damage per shot, so heavier guns and beams win (Aurochs, Weaver, Breaker, Cutter), and it cannot shoot air.

LandshipFrom equal-supply battles of each pair at 400, 800 and 1,600 supply (no techs, 20 seeds each). Real armies mix units, so read these as tendencies.
Where to deploy
At the very front, where it takes the first hits for everything behind it.
Early and late rounds
One of the two starting squads for one commander (whose Anvils are tougher). A solid wall from round one; late, Linked Armor makes it one of the hardest things to break.
Techs that change its job
Linked Armor more than doubles its HP and spreads damage across the five tanks, so focus fire stops working. AP Rounds trades rate of fire for 3.5 times the damage per shell, turning it against armor. Overdrive fires faster.
