The Battle of Caelon was an engagement on October 5, 1923 between the Kooplieden Monarchy Preservation Corps and the Powys Workers' Liberation Army in the Anwnn village of Caelon. 10 RT-1 "Kever"s of the KMPC, accompanied by a small detachment of infantry, were ambushed as they advanced into the town believing it had been abandoned by retreating PWLA forces, and were ultimately captured. Despite its small scale, the battle is considered one of the most important in the Anwnn Civil War for Kooplieden, with most offensive manoeuvres involving tanks conducted by the KMPC being banned until the RT-8 "Berggeit" became available in 1926, and contributing directly to its design through lessons learnt from the battle.
