Re: muskets vs.longbows in MTW2
The main problem, at least, for me, was that you could not order your men to load their guns before lining up the shot.. The unit had to start reloading from scratch every time it moved.
Also, your men could not fire in volleys while the rank behind them reloaded. I don't know if this tactic had come into use so early on, but it seems like common sense to me.

"Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien
