I agree, if you are scaling the figure scale up then ranges should come down, which then changes the relationship between manoeuvre and firepower. (It makes me cry when I see ancients rules where units purporting to be entire 1000 man formations can shoot the same 24 inches). Sharp Practice uses variable movement and you can move faster if you are happy to accept some disorganisation (shock) or your leaders are using their influence to step up the pace (Stepping out). British formations want to reserve their fire to get the benefit of a crashing volley at close range, aimed fire is slower but more effective, untrained or undisciplined units are likely just to keep firing unaimed into the smoke and militia riflemen are a damned nuisance, being much more likely to hit leaders with adverse effects on morale and the ability to control formations.

There’s a small skirmish report here:
