About HPS Simulations-

HPS Simulations call themselves "The Wargamer's Company" and this is certainly a fitting name. Their primary target audience consists of serious gamers that seek the ultimate in reality and historical accuracy. In 1999, John Tiller (of Battleground Series and Campaign Series fame) began developing computer wargames for HPS. Tom Hook joined the John Tiller team with the assistance of his brother Lee Quantrell who is a play-tester for Tiller group. Creating period correct music for military strategy games covering the last 250 years has been a sometimes daunting and satisfying challenge for Tom. Realizing that the music of choice of the average foot soldier is not usually music from the classical arena, Tom has always tried to balance "classical" and popular music in his scores whenever possible. It has involved touching on everything from the fife and drum tunes of the 1700's, the banjos and fiddles of the mid 19 th century, the swing ballads of the 1940's, through the heavy metal rock of the 1960's and on into the New Age pop of the 1980's. This popular music has all been balanced with an equal amount of classic military marching band music. By clicking on the web link below you can find the HPS Simulations home page which lists the numerous titles that they offer, most of which have music created by Tom Hook. www. hps sims.com

Tom has created three full-length compilations on CD from three distinct arenas containing some of his favorites:

"Marching in the Deserter" contains tunes from the French and Indian War, The American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

"Marching With Napolean" contains music from the Napoleanic Wars

"The Homespun Dress" contains music from the American Civil War
