The battle tactics used in the Napoleonic wars would be well-suited to the RTW engine, I think (after some obvious ammendments to unit strategy.) Although they made much use of firearms, the battlefield tatctics are in some ways more akin to medieval strategy than modern warfare. (Advancing in rank, line of battle, etc.) There was also plenty of infantry/cavalry hand-to hand fighting to be done.

A Napoleonic-era game should probably include an American Revolutionary War, in a strategic map expanded west to include North America and maybe east to include the colonial campaigns in India.
