MUSIC TO PLAY WITE BY

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

clearly there is no single best piece in a game where there are highs and low. The 1812 overture is an obvious choice for the soviet in late '41. However, I commend this version of a classic to anyone feeling things aren't going as well as they would like. My thanks to Manstein 63 who put me onto it

I've collected a number of soundtracks over the years some of which are perfect for my "Ground Pounding" playlist

Savings Private Ryan (Williams), Glory (RIP James Horner), Gladiator (Zimmer), Patton, Hart's War to name a few

And of course the handful of tracks that came with the video games Steel Panthers and Ardennes Offensive are always in the mix [:)]
