Platoon fire is pretty good though.

Not as useless as you think.

I'd say it would be very useful.

Getting closer means more hits and more slaughter...and as the gentlemen said...

At some point you can klick the melee button and charge the buggers!! Game over for that unit, especially if you have Grenadiers with a few stripes of experience.

Before I research fire and advance, will it cause problems for my units if they are behind cover? I have rank fire researched and have no problem with units firing from cover right now. I'd rather that not change...

No there a button on the interface to activate it like the one for melee.

To get even more slaughter, time it with an old style cavalry charge to the rear...
