Since 1977, Brent Nosworthy has been working on an massive project, a part of which appeared in 1990 as the critically-acclaimed The Anatomy of Victory: 1689-1763 and several subsequent books.
This will be a very detailed multi-volume series that analyzes the development of tactics from the advent of the arquebuse until the abandonment of the rifle musket at the end of the American Civil War.
Sample chapters and studies are now available as PDFs HERE.
