John's right. The Starfire novels cover warp point assaults in 
exhaustive detail. The technological assumptions are specific to that 
universe, but some of the points are generally valid. Try, oh, "In Death

Ground" and "The Shiva Option". They're the highest-tech and have many, 
many battles - almost all warp point assaults. They're also the most 
widely available right now. Pity he's unlikely to do anything about the 
Rigellians. As novels they're kind of depressing, the casualties the 
Arachnids inflict are horrific. I gave up on  Starfire because warp 
point assaults are depressing.

You can do some graduate work on wormhole strategy by reading the 
Vorkosigan Saga. It's got warp point assaults, changing technology and 
lots of astropolitical theory in a wormhole setting.
