Military Books on Thirty Years War

After weeks of searching, I found two books exclusively on battles:
Battles of the Thirty Years War: From White Mountain to Nordlingen, 1618-1635 (Contributions in Sociology,)
Guthrie, William P.
and The Later Thirty Years War: From the Battle of Wittstock to the Treaty of Westphalia (Contributions in Military Studies)

I also found Osprey's Luetzen 1632 and Pike and Shot Tactics 1590 -1660 useful. Thion's ROCROI 1643 (Men and Battles)
Thion, Stephane
is not as good.

I'm reading Black's European Warfare 1494-1660

and Weigley's Age of Battles I'll keep you posted.
