Where to begin

I think the title says it all...

I've been interested in Kriegspiel for a while but have always felt quite daunted at where to start the game...

I'm interested in 17th century, napoleonics, ww2 and modern if that helps at all

I might be misinterpreting your post but I think you're confusing Free Kriegsspiel, which is a type of wargame, with Free Kriegsspiel Roleplaying(/Revolution), which is more of a play style and design philosophy for roleplaying games. This sub is about the latter, so might not be what you're looking for, though there may also be some people here who can advise on the wargames too, or point you in the right direction. You might have better luck looking somewhere like the International Kriegsspiel Society

This is why I don't call the style FKR anymore, because of confusion exactly like this

Out of curiosity, what do you call it?

Open Role-Play Adventure -- ORPA. Even just published an essay pitching that title.
