On paper, perhaps. And yet they consistently underperformed when facing continental foes in actual battles (or even half-trained colonists).The actual British militia were actually very good. Remember British infantry were some of the best in the world at the time, man for man (and certainly more consistent in quality), and the reason is the outrageously long training times - British militia trained nearly as heavily as many continental armies, which is why they could just plug Surrey militia units directly into the Guards and have them hold Hougoumont.
