The bayonette and the flintlock made infantry superior to cavalry, although Napoleon made them more important again they were ever after second banana to foot. And it's what made those formations so important.
I'm not disputing the historical accuracy of what they are trying to do, I know that the gun changed warfare forever. I'm just saying that firearm warfare, and the combat system that I've grown to love in RTW and M2TW are ill suited for each other.

No more flanking, no more hammer and anvil, no more hiding units in the woods to charge thier 6 and make them route, None of the more elaborate tactics that have served all of us well apply any more.

To me (and this is only my impression) it sounds like all you will do is line your men up against the edge of the map, and wait for the enemy to get in range.
