Also, left out: The weapons they're using are smooth bore, .70cal muskets, round shot. About as accurate as shit in the field. If you -don't- line up 75 guys and fire in double-rank volleys, you're not likely to hit shit.
Still, the smoothbores could load twice, maybe 4 times as fast as rifles, and were a hell of a lot easier to use effectively, AND let you mount a bayonet, which is where the REAL fighting was back in the day.
Still not as good as a longbow, in accuracy, range, or speed... but a fuckton easier to train on, and just as effective no matter how tired you are.
