Agin you guys keep think old hat, your like the British soldiers who wanted to line up thirty feet for their targets and fire vollies of black power rounds each other.. Which works if your enemy will play that way. The reason we kicked their teeth in was because the majority of the war was fought of the planned battle fields of the British.
What utter drivel. Where did you get the thirty feet from? You are repeating an absurd myth that American Militias fought as Guerrillas which is nonsense. They used exactly the same tactics and were blown off the field- like at Bunker Hill or Guilford Courthouse. There were light irregular soldiers and rangers but Britain had more than the American forces did- the ancestor of the US rangers was actually a British unit in the War of independence added to whit Britain had vastly more Indian Allies.
The War ended because Britain decided that it was economically and politically unsustainable not because it was militarily defeated. The same situation as the USA in Vietnam.
