Were guerrilla warfare tactics used in World War 2?
Guerrilla tactics (AKA Guerrilla Warfare) is a term used for any kind of tactics that aren't used by a conventional army. Such tactics Include Hit and Run attacks where a small group of soldiers will open up a barrage of gunfire and explosives on their targets then quickly leave. Attacks like this are usually carried out on convoys, or small military outpost's/camps. The point of Hit and run warfare is not to take a position but rather to weaken your opponent by killings it's men and destroying it's supplies. Other tactics that COULD be considered Guerrilla warfare are the use of unconventional traps. Such as the Punji stick trap that was widely utilized by the NVA a Vietcong during the Vietnam conflict. A punji stick trap is a trap that is made by digging a hold about six to eight feet deep. then placing sharp jagged objects at the bottom with the sharp ends sticking straight up towards the top of the hole (during Vietnam they used sharpened bamboo called punji sticks). Usually theses sticks were hosed down in urine, covered in feces (human or animal) or drenched in dead animals blood, sometimes even leaving the dead rotting animals in the hole. This was to increase the chance of infection. The hole was then covered by foliage so when a soldier stepped on it he fell to a horrible fate. For other examples of Guerrilla warfare you could study up on the tactics used by the NCA/Vietcong and also the tactics of insurgents in the middle east. Or if possible the tactics taught to the US Green Beret Special Forces Units.

Was the American Revolution won by guerrilla tactics or hit and run tactics?
Hit and Run tactics are forms of guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare is used when they don't have a strong enough conventional army to fight their opponent. In Vietnam, the VC weren't strong enough to take on the US Army in open combat (conventional warfare); so they used guerrilla warfare. The NVA were a different matter, they were regular soldiers (draftees) like their US & ARVN counter-parts, pitched conventional battles occurred between those forces. Great Britain fought Americans in both guerrilla and open warfare battles for 8 years, or there abouts. They had to transport men and logistics (supplies) across the sea (Atlantic Ocean) for those 8 years. The whole affair was a drain and a pain in their bottoms! America (to Britain) was but a jungle full of disease's and savages, and after 8 years of combat (warfare) they decided the "colonies" were no longer worth the blood of another Englishman! So, they simply did what their current antagonists would do 150 years later (Vietnam); they "declared a victory and went home!"
