The enemy towers are more varied than that. Your convoy can only consist of up to six vehicles and you only have five unit types (ten if you count the morph ability).
The morph mechanic does a great job at keeping you on your toes as different situations require different tactics. For example, the armored vehicle with a long range gatling gun morphs into a robot with devastating short range flamethrowers. The novelty in Anomaly 2 that provides a pretty big twist is that you can morph any of your units to suit the challenges of the current battlefield.
You can choose your route on the fly and you can buy, sell and upgrade units at any time. The player takes over the role of the Commander unit which is tasked to protect and guide the military unit convoy.
