Default Battle cry!

Here's the obit for a brave man with a unique spot in history.

Any guesses or opinions on whether Scottish units remaining in 2000 have pipers, and play? Have the Soviets and Polish ever gotten used to that, or is it something that can demoralize them?

Given the terrific loss of most radio communications, what does the group think of the return of bugle/drum signals to the post-modern battlefield?

In one of my sillier games, I allowed my group to mount speakers on their vehicles, 'cause they wanted to play "Ride of the Valkyries" when they attacked a town.

For that matter, on the aural battlefield, here's a 1935 recording of the Confederate "Rebel Yell"

The second half of that, when they repeat it lots of times, is a bit hair-raising.
