In the real physics category, Europa Strike is pretty cool, but I'm going to have to go with pretty much the entire last chapter of Footfall - especially the gamma ray lasers
Before A New Hope, Han Solo used many military tactics (he learned while he was an Imp.) to save Jabba's Sail Barge from pirates. He also used some tactics to beat Imperial Star Destroyers from destroying Nar Shaddaa by projecting holo ships to trick the Imp. Commander, then he went up behind the Imps and blew their back flanks to kingdom come!!!!!!!!! (read the Han Solo Trilogy)

My favorite tactics were the ones Grand Admiral Thrawn used against the New Republic by observing his opponent's culture before attacking them. Thrawn almost beat the New Republic with a fleet with only 5 Star Destroyers and many smaller ships. He probably would have defeated the Rebels if it wasn't for Thrawn's own bodygaurd that stabbed Thrawn in the heart.(see the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn).

Grand Admiral Thrawn is the best fictional strategist I ever read about (my user is named after him)!!!!
