I don't like the carnage part and military strategy in itself does nothing for me; I think at least in part because spatial imagery is not a strong point.
Have you looked at Eric Flint's 1632 yet? The kickoff novel should be available for free, and if you like it, there's a veritable ton of further material in the setting.

Thumbnail sketch: West Virginia coal-mining town from 2000 gets transplanted back to the middle of the Thirty Years War. There's no getting back, so they set about making alliances while "gearing down" to a sustainable level of technology that's still well ahead of the competition.
