Hmm...0061 was the year that Fate was awoken, IIRC. In addition, Nanoha, Hayate, Arisa, and Suzuka would all be around five years old at this time. The first season would begin in about four years or so, and StrikerS in about fourteen years. That should give you plenty of time to affect the course of the timeline.
For example, consider the Combat Cyborg Incident that canonically killed Zest Grangeitz and Quint Nakajima and left Megane Alpine in a coma. Perhaps, if you so choose, you could at least make an attempt to keep them all alive somehow. Whether or not you succeed, well, I'll let you decide. Keeping even one alive could change the character dynamics noticeably if not drastically (depending on who gets saved and perhaps even how they're saved).
That's just one example of how you could change the timeline, if you so choose (and really, changing the timeline would keep things interesting, as you could keep us guessing as to how things would play out this time around!).

I wonder if there are any uninhabited worlds that the TSAB would normally use as weapons-testing ranges. Perhaps those would do as sparring grounds...
