Playtesting has produced minor edits to the PDF. Backing up or wheeling backward now incurs the same penalty as shifting sideways. Sharpshooters cost 2 points for rifled muskets and 4 for modern rifles. Modern rifles now shoot at +1 versus companies not formed in skirmish order and not earning a cover save. Machine guns shoot twice.
This is the result of a nasty encounter with some Zulus and some vastly overpriced Boers.

I'm not saying it's Games Workshop, but I'm pretty happy with the production values.
It's a balanced game up to and including Longbows and Handguns. We haven't done much playtesting with muskets and up, and we haven't done much with artillery.
A 30 point game will take you 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.
Hope you folks like it!

More Changes
Made light less attractive by reducing its strength to 3. Bumped heavy strength to 7. Created a new category, unarmored medium. Unarmored medium loses all ties to heavy and medium, but costs 3 instead of 4. This represents large units of drilled muskets which didn't move especially quickly.
This was all after a battle where a swarm of light crossbows cut some heavies to ribbons. If that was historically accurate crossbows would have been the king of the battlefield, so...
