Marching with your own soldiers lined up at the enemy also lined up and firing muskets sounds not terribly tactical b.t.w.
No, but it's fun and if they do fire on you too early, you will obliterate them... And doing so with "the British Grenadiers" playing would be really, really awesome. Tip to CA, include some variation of that song (played on flute or fife, together with drums) for Great Britain.

Also, would be great if the option to view your settlements came back in some way.
