If that was true, United States of America would be the Dominion of American States.

Not a flame but just correcting some flaws.
Ah, but TerranC you are missing a critical point of both your examples. The British army in 1776, and the American Army in Vietnam had more training than their opponents. But it was the wrong kind of training. They were woefully undertrained for the particular kind of fight they found themself ingaged in, and paid dearly. This is a point that doesn't translate well into a game like SEIV.

In the few European style set-piece battles the British and Americans fought, the British did very well. It was only when the American forces modified their tactics that they began to have success. Then the guerilla tactics, constant harrasment, large distances in supply lines, and public disatisfaction at home took the fight out of the British army and made the outcome we had possible.

Ditto in Vietnam, just switch the players...
