Over the next two decades, riots, protests, and military demonstrations would see the Republican military deployed around Calinthia. The most famous of these incidents is the [[Christmas Civil War]] of 1931. While only lasting a single week, this conflict saw Republican military units assaulting positions of the Loyalist [[138th Calinthian Guard Division]] in the city of Milanopolis on the 21st of December. The result of the battle was 6,264 Republican soldiers killed, and 4,069 Loyalist soldiers killed, as well as the surrender of the 138th Calinthian Guard Division. This sparked public outrage at the Republican guard for having gone straight to violence against Loyalists, and refusing to negotiate. It wasn't until 1936 that the Republican military would face a much larger split in forces when Republican General [[Juna Ricola]] would take half of the military and a majority of the Navy and join the Loyalist cause. For two years the [[Calinthian Civil War]] would rage, resulting in the dissolution of the [[Republic of Calinthia]], and it's military. For six years the [[Calinthian Civil War]] would rage. | Over the next two decades, riots, protests, and military demonstrations would see the Republican military deployed around Calinthia.

Since the [[Military Besserung of 1944]], Calinthian ground tactics consisted of large mechanized and armored assaults. This tactic is also known as "Schwerpunkt" and was adapted by [[Friedrich von Guder]]. It relies on overwhelming armored force concentrated on as small of a section of the battlefield as possible. The KVA used the tactics to great effect both in the [[Calinthian Civil War]] against the Republican Guard and in the [[War of Hearts]] against the Loyalist forces. | Since the [[Military Besserung of 1944]], Calinthian ground tactics consisted of large mechanized and armored assaults.
