Mark,
the firing table I'm using does have lesser gradations, resulting from the fact that the battalions tend to be quite small. I'm toying with 1:20 and 1:15 figure scales but either way you end up with battalions going from roughly 12 figs to 32 or 36. Generally though the typical continental battalion was only 200-250 men and the typical British one on campaign 300-400. Difficulties arise because some battalions - like the French ones or recently raised Scottish ones - deployed anything up to 800-900 troops in the field and evidently you need systems that allow big and small to be fairly represented.
The major differences with AWI GDB, as I'm crafting it, are: the use of randomised movement; disruption points acquired by manoevre or combat; some small tactical differences to allow for extended order etc.
