It was Gunfreak who once said – TMP link -

While I'm not British every time I hear rule Britannia! I want to invade France.

Which song(s) put you in the right mood to attack someone on the gaming table?

Any good military march, pipe music, and good soundtracks such

Lovely coincidence. When talking with my two gaming friends today about our next project (17th-18th pirates) I had this song going thru my mind:

Johnny Home by the Musical Blades.

'Das Leben ist auch ein Wurfelspiel' fits the bill for me. YouTube link

Depends on the setting of the game: The Hohenfriedberger March by Frederick the Great himself, the British Grenadiers, the Bonny Blued Flag, Soldiers of the Queen.

The Marseillaise surely qualifies.

@Bashytubits,

Sounds like your wargaming doesn't necessarily turn out very satisfactorily, but your selection may be appropriate for the average gamer. Plus one for humor!

wrgmr114 May 2017 1:29 p.m. PST

One of my favorites.

Norman D Landings14 May 2017 2:42 p.m. PST

Sisters of Mercy, Swords of a Thousand Men, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and, inexplicably… the Banana Splits song.

Seriously, I would bayonet-charge a trench to that.

Richard Wagner – Ride of the Valkyries
Carl Orff – Carmina Burana

Richard Wagner – Siegfried's funeral music

"Crockett's Deguello",for one,"Hearts of Oak" for fighting sail games; Many others previously mentioned also. Like Attilathepun47,depends on the scenario. If there's a skedaddle rolled,I'll usually do the Benny Hill theme("Yakkity Sax")

If playing Germans of any description I rather like this:

I have a feeling this is going to end up as one strange poll.

Anyway, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Lilliberlero. Lots of rousing versions,but a I'll post this one--I like the scenery. And the recorder:

And I'll go ahead and post this one for the 16th century,by the same "band of clones":

I do like Crumhorns.

Bill lets do this as a poll again. I know it has been done before but by the time it come around there is always a "fresh" look.
