Of course!
Of course you could do a fantasy war map. The whole idea is to create a map becomes obvious to a viewer that it depicts an active war or battle scene. It could be a plan of attack/defense by a commander, it could be a historic reflection on a past battle. It is not just a map of a location, it is a location at war.
1. Sieged castle or town with defined artillery and supply lines
2. Defense of the Dwarven Stronghold against the Drow down below.
3. The Battle of Britain, or Gettysburg or Thermopolae, or the Alamo
4. The Scouring of the Shire (Last chapter in the Return of the King, Tolkien).
5. Whatever you are gaming with at the moment, use it, and create a war map...
Using map objects or defined areas to show where battle lines are drawn up, encampments, units afield, supply and communication lines, fortifications, defenses, mine fields, artillery lines.
Let your imagination run as to what genre, military technology, or place in time, if a real battle site - just make it a map at war.
