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.
All those manuvers, cept maybe hammer and anvil, are still valid. Cavalry in this time is used for flanking and rear attacks. With light cavalry and light infantry for skirmishing, disrupting formations.
