During the American Revolution, the Colonists won in large part due to the disparity between the tactics used by the two armies. The Colonists essentially conducted a guerrilla campaign, and did not like taking the British on face to face. The British considered such tactics "dishonorable", and had a tendency to march in straight lines and get mowed down.
The British later learned from the Colonists and put snipers to use during the Napoleonic Wars, but suppose they adopted them early on, during the Revolution when they saw how useful it was?
What it basically means is that now, the British deploy their own ambush teams and snipers, abandon their tendency to march forward in straight lines, and maybe even adopt camouflage clothing?
