ADVANTAGE:
They were well trained, equipped, and had exact orders in which they followed very closely.
They had the best navy which protected the coastlines and supply lines.
They had co - operation Loyalists and Indians to help them fight.
They had enough money to hire foreign troops from Germany also known as Hessians.
DISADVANTAGE:
They had a long distance from home which made soldiers less effective due to lack of sleep, home sickness, exhaustion, etc.
They never adapted their fighting style which hurt them.
They did not use Loyalists to their advantage and many times the British did not use them effectively.
They believed they could just run Americans over without any problem, this underestimation caused them to be unprepared and lose many men in some cases.
They used smoothbore muskets which took longer to load than the American guns so by the time they could get their gun loaded they would be shot.
