Not historically accurate, very minimal to no fantasy.

Time period ranges from around 400BC to the early 20th Century.

Berserk for instance, would not qualify due to its prominent fantasy setting.

All entries are set in Historical Europe or a very similar setting. Vagrant Soldier Ares qualifies as it takes place in a setting very similar to ancient Rome.

All of them contain French elements.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Manga with tactical fights/strategic battles that are not determined by strength or numbers but how they use what they have available to them, using their knowledge/cunning to outsmart their opponent, exploiting weakness, planning beforehand or quick thinking in the heat of battle and using what's in their immediate surroundings to their advantage.

Not all included manga are at the same level when it comes to tactical fights/strategic battles and while the majority of fights are tactical and the battles strategic there are some that are not.
