You may have an older version of Vengeance: Reloaded if you are only seeing one BATTLE track. Originally new tracks started at BATTLE B as naming it BATTLE A would mean it would play instead of the music already familiar to those playing Vanilla JA2, this way the original music is retained while new tracks are additional, not replacements. This has since changed only recently as the original JA2 BATTLE music doesn't quite gel with the newer tracks, and to me is too reminiscent of the Aliens movie soundtrack.

Later builds also added multiple tracks for not only BATTLE and NOTHING but for MARIMBAD and things like unique tracks for the credits sequence.

Regardless of all of this, if you are not using V:R you will want to follow the code or features in your chosen mod.
Ah, I see. That's what I was wondering, if the "A" in some cases was referring to the original piece so that if mod used it's own on that spot, for instance, BATTLE A, then it would replace the original whereas if it started with B, then original was salvaged to use in addition to the new ones starting from B.

I'll have to play around with these. I'd like to built something different for playlist (for my own fun and personal use) with perhaps a few oldies playing along the new of my chosen, but keeping the right feel and immersion will be hard when picking one track from here, one from there. I regularly play JA2 over the years since the release, so would be fun to built one music playlist and get it "click" the right way some day lol. I like the old "laptop menu music quite" a bit, but battle music has gotten really old decades ago (in my humble opinion).happy Never thought music was JA2's strongest point. Main and laptop scores are p good, some are all right, battles are kinda repetitive by music. One good example of atmospheric soundtrack that fits into a game without being really complex due compositions I always like was Fallout 1 and 2 tracks (big part of it is like semi-ambient). Wouldn't fit in JA2, but they create nice atmosphere for those games.
