I think for post-1700 AD eras it is difficult for the reasons described by everyone else, but I think it SHOULD be done far more often for pre-1700 eras. The Thirty Years War, English Civil War, Medieval Italy, Medieval Iberia (including El Cid), and the Pre-Classical world would be ripe for this approach.
