Its kind of obscure, but how about
Starship Operators? Its a show about a bunch of space cadets who fund a rebellion to free their home planet by turning their exploits into a reality TV show. The female lead in that one is a low key take on a tactical genius (a reluctant one since she thinks the reality TV plan is insane). The battles are fairly slow paced with a lot of emphasis on analysis and coming up with countermeasures. The first few challenge of the week episodes are kind of weak but the show improves a lot after making a shift to arc based storytelling in the fifth episode.
(Note: I
strongly dislike the English dub for this show, in part because it alters the main character's characterization.)
I also wrote a
article about the show on my now long abandoned anime blog back in 2006 if you want a more detailed (if perhaps overly positive) overview of the show.
