How did Guerrilla warfare act as an advantage for the colonists?
Actually it's a widely believed myth that guerrilla fighting provided a winning advantage to the Colonists. The tactics used to fight the Indians were quite different from those of fighting massed European armies.

It wasn't until the Continental Army mastered the art of 18th century warfare -- standing in ranks and trading volleys and finally capturing the battle field at bayonet point, did we start winning battles.
