Concentrate budget on survivor 7_battle and top killer 15_heavy with shields, missiles, and dirt cover to forge a durable core; stop scattering resources across destroyed scouts.

{'name': 'shield-wedge', 'description': 'Front-line heavies deploy shields and drop dirt cover; rear tanks fire missiles through the gap, turning budget into a fortified firing line.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'engaged', 'range_band': ['mid'], 'hp_band': ['mid', 'high']}, 'body': 'In engaged mid-range with a healthy core, 7_battle and heaviest units form a tight wedge: deploy force_shield on the lead tank, drop dirt_bomb behind for cover, then fire missiles from protected rear positions. Scouts stay back to avoid feeding enemy kills. Move as one block to hold the objective and earn survival income.'}

VanguardStorm clusters aggressively for objectives and relies on volume fire; they overextend when holding match point, leaving flanks open to focused counter-fire.

Dead tanks earn zero and drain morale; only protected, positioned survivors generate income. Concentrate shields and missiles on the core that lives.

Match-point round: universal shields and dirt cover for survival, arm 15_heavy with heavy/baby-nuke for cluster denial, keep scouts behind cover to secure income and deny enemy blast value.

{'name': 'cover-and-hold', 'description': 'Scouts deploy dirt cover near objectives then stay behind it; heavies cover from mid-range to suppress attackers targeting the position.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'searching', 'range_band': ['close'], 'hp_band': ['low']}, 'body': 'Scouts advance to the nearest objective, drop dirt bombs to create hard cover, then hold position behind it. Heavies position at mid-range behind the cover line, using missiles to suppress enemies that target the scouts. No tank advances past the cover line until the objective is secured and the area is suppressed.'}

VanguardStorm pushes aggressively for match point and clusters tanks near objectives; they rely on blast and focused fire, so spread formation and use cover to break their grouping.

Position and shields determine income, not kills: only 15_heavy survived with cover and earned 889 while 16 others died at zero. Spend wallet on protection first, damage second.
