A set of rules called "Firepower", covering low-level infantry action form late C19 to early C21 were trailed in Wargames Illustrated 60 with an article describing the morale rules. I don't think I ever heard of this ruleset again: does anyone know if they were ever released?

Never heard of them.

Avalon Hill released a game called Firepower around that time (late eighties, early nineties). It is a single man per counter game that covers then modern day firefights.

Would that be the set included in the Perry's ACW battle in a box?

I played it a few times. It is a decent game, but it's very detailed. Especially when it comes to command activation.
