    Sort of. My understanding is the Revolutionary War was won by causing enough attrition (disease and deserters) among the British that they decided it wasn’t worth it. Washington lost more battles than he won, but he mostly focused on supply lines and whatnot, so he generally caused enough damage to be successful. American soldiers could resupply locally, the British had to ship it in, and Britain wasn’t super invested in keeping the supplies coming.

      Please refer to the “in part”, part of my comment.

      But yes, you’re correct on those fronts as well. Again, attacking supply lines and such is essentially what my comment is describing
