Battlefront Miniatures: K-1 Ironclad Company




The Vietnamese term xe thiết giáp ("ironclad vehicle") is used to refer to tanks. However, the influence of the English word 'tank' has also led to the use of xe tăng (pronounced ser tung), or simply tăng, as well. Confusingly, tăng itself means 'increase' or 'up'.


The K-1 (kiểu or Type 1) Tank was the T-34/85M, a modernized Second World War-era tank, the first type of tank received by the PAVN. This type was most common in Laos, but mostly worn out and replaced by the time of the invasion of South Vietnam in 1972.


Or you can just use your World War Two T-34 tanks!
