Bloody as bloody ever was.

Although I do admit a little anxiousness. Lining up guys to shoot at each other doesn't sound as fun as sending them charging into violent melees really. Napoleonic warfare was quite brutal and fast-paced but I have little knowledge about the period prior to that.

Slow and plodding, in Europe anyway. As has been mentioned, warfare was mainly decorative in nature. Line up and give the enemy a good show, maybe trade a few volleys, MAYBE a nice bayonette charge.
Again, exceptions as always. The Great Northern War was a particularly bloody bit of work, mainly because it was a struggle to be an Imperial Power. If Sweden had won we might be looking at a very different world today.
Glory to the United Soviet Swedish Republic!
