Americans using Guerilla Warfare
The main tactic that the British used was face to face fighting. This tactic involves getting in front of the opponents army and just shooting. It is not a difficult tactic it is pretty straight forward. There is one downside of this tactic when you are not on even ground it is harder to shoot and aim.
