  • Reclaiming Hue is a map featured in Battlefield Vietnam, and is the epilogue to Hue - 1968. Reclaiming Hue takes place during the Battle of Huế from January 30 to March 3, 1968. More specifically, it depicts the month following the North Vietnamese invasion on January 31, 1968, in which North Vietnamese Army troops were gradually pushed back by ARVN and USMC forces in intense house-to-house fighting. As Huế was an ancient city with a particular religious and cultural status, Allied forces abstained from bombing any positions out of fear of destroying historic structures. However, the situation became too hectic, and the policy was dropped. When the battle was near an end, NVA forces gathered in the city's old citadel. Napalm and regular bombing strikes pounded the citadel's walls and damaged many buildings within. ARVN declared the city's palace at the citadel's center secure on February 24 and NVA forces withdrew within the following week.
