Operational doctrine
Mannerheim specializes in isolating and destroying divided enemy forces. Toughened infantry dig into terrain while superior AA batteries lock down skies against airstrikes and drone swarms.
- AA trucks withstand heavier counterfire and fire longer volleys before needing ammunition replenishment.
- Starting rifle platoons contest ruins and fortified road bends effectively.
