Nothing like the 1812 Overature with the cannon finale to get you into the wargaming mood.

Other favorites are the William Tell overature, The ride of the Valkries and Night on Bald Mountain.

When I play Carriers at War I use the games sound.

I love the music in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. too, like much good movie music it really heightens the mood almost without you being aware of it. Period stuff, as is included with most ACW games, is also good. And in a couple of cases the music has simply become an essential part of the game experience. I wouldn't think of playing TOAW without the music; I've just known those tunes so long now.

With all others, I will let it play for about 20-30 seconds-that's enough to remind me of the sound track. In a few games, I will leave the combat sounds on very low. The sounds of combat are useful as a tip that something is going on someplace other than were I happen to be zoomed in on.

If you like classical, take a listen to the soundtrack of the movie Master and Commander. In particular, starting at 4:25 there's a catchy tune.
