The terms arent mutually exclusive. Slow and deliberate and plodding and tactical. 18th century tactics were pretty plodding by Napoleonic standards. Hence Napoleon kicking everybodys ass all over Europe until he decided it'd be a good idea to take a trip to Moscow.
Again, there are exceptions, yes.

I agree. It would be quite nice to see musketeers and riflemen firing at different rates. Anybody whose fired a musket and a muzzle loading rifle can tell you that muskets take FAR less time to load. From what I know, a trained musketeer can get off 3-5 shots a minute in good conditions, whereas a rifleman was only expected to get off one or two (when firing quickly, obviously.)
Things like formation, terrain and so forth should affect the rate of movement of men (and, obviously, firepower). One of the great debates of Napoleons era was the line vs. the column on the battlefield. Lines had more firepower, but columns gave more manuverability and speed, and made it easier to position cannons. I understand that the Russians favored a 'checkerboard' formation of troops in column formation, putting artillery between each column at the start of battle.
Lines are hard to maintain on the march as well, especially in uneven terrain. A column formation stays pretty much intact and doesnt require men to pace themselves as carefully as a line.
I wont even go into the issues of cavalry formations...figuring out who goes where and which guys get the lances in lancer formations and what sort of dragoon that particular army is using...urgh.

On an unrelated note...

Seeing the Russians using their own unique style of artillery (unicorns/licorns) would be nice. Apparently the Russians didnt favor howitzers too much, prefering the unicorn, which was a mix between a field gun and a howitzer, and could be employed in either role effectivly.
That ones one of the things about Imperial Glory that particularly annoyed me. The British got congreve rockets, but the Russians got the same old howitzers as severybody else.
(Insert disjointed rant about British bias and all that good stuff.)
