Very nice work!
When I get the time I'll work on a scenario to make use of it.

Consider a campaign that utilizes the entire map but moves from battle to battle on that map. The battle for Hue ( as you know ) lasted over a month. You could use the entire map for some or snip it into smaller map sections for a specific engagements using the cut and paste feature of the extended map editor

Re: Hue city 1967-68
This was one of my reference maps. I found three good ones, used the map utility for the contouring and then compared and contrasted the old maps with the new ones to see what was/wasn't there in 68. I also used Google Earth to check out vegetation, which I again compared and contrasted to the military maps.

Re: Hue city 1967-68
Here is a map of the area West of Hue in which Air-Cav and Airborne troops operated during the battle (2/12th, 1/7th, 5/7th Cav. and 2/501st Airborne).
A number of important operations were undertaken in this area to prevent reinforcement and re-supply of the NVA in the citadel.
The battles fought were centred around the villages of Thon Que Chu and Thon La Chu.

It will be a while again before I undertake a project of that scope.

Re: Hue city 1967-68
Nice documentary on the battle to clear the south side of the Perfume River.

Re: Hue city 1967-68
Any progress on Battle of Hue scenarios?
Just finished Mark Bowden's (Blackhoawk Down) book, 'Hue 1968'.
Nasty battle - good book.
I've visited the city, and especially around the Citadel, it would be a helluva place to have to assault.
Checked in here (after several years) to see if I could try my hand at fighting the battle.
It would certainly be a very different sort of Vietnam scenario (more like Stalingrad) and is arguably the major battle of Vietnam (American) war.

Re: Hue city 1967-68
On my list ... I'm still (haphazardly) doing research on the battle in my spare time.
I'll look into that "Hue 1968" book ... thanks!
