I think I was thinking of one of the Bolo books where a prototype is on
a planet where there was a research facility who's location was lost in
a counter attack in a large exchange of fire in the core worlds. So, a
forces lands on a back water planet expecting militia and some light
tanks and finds that there's militia, light tanks and a Bolo in
opposition, much to their consternation.

The advantage of a bolo being low manpower requirements and large
firepower, of course the disadvantage being expense and cubage in
shipping.
