B - For music, there will be at least one song per major power that is nationalistic in nature, with perhaps a second that is militarisitc. Yes, there are a lot more possibilities but I am looking at what will be included as part of the first release. More bells and whistles can be added later. We are looking at about 1-2 minutes of play time for each piece.
C - For historical video, there will be between 10 and 30 clips. I expect some of these to appear only once, under special circumstances (e.g., the attack on Peral Harbor) and others to occur perhaps more than once, but still very rarely (e.g., the capture/liberation of Paris).
My views for what they are worth.
For the Commonwealth I would go for:
Militaristic - Eternal Father, Strong To Save; the Royal Navy Hymn (although the US Navy claim it too) - a powerful yet moving piece (remember the film Crimson Tide?) and if any one service is preferred over another, I think the RN - our senior service - deserves that honour.
Nationalistic - I vow to thee my country. I think this has the edge over more obvious choices like Jeruselem and Land of Hope and Glory as the later two would probably get irritating after too much play!
For the American Militaristic I think you could do worse than Samuel Barbers Adagio for Strings, used in the film Platoon.
For the Japanese militaristic, how about David Sylvian and Ryuichi Sakamoto`s Forbidden Colours without the words?
Video: The sinking and blowing up of the battleship Barham in December 1941 is an oft used clip, but for good reason. Its about 16 seconds long.
Right now all my information is in the hands of David Heath and he is working on gathering music as OGG files.ORIGINAL: warspite1

Steve - was any decision made about the music?
