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.
