Recognition notes
The Anvil ANV-5M is a 60-ton skirmisher that fights at medium range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86, a 3057 rework of the 3055 ANV-3M. In place of the Large Pulse Laser in each torso it carries an ER Large Laser, and adds a Medium Laser in each torso alongside the Medium Laser in the center torso and the Medium Laser in the head carried over from the ANV-3M. Jump range grows from 90 to 150 metres on the same 300 fusion engine. Gibson Federated BattleMechs builds it at its Gibson works.
