Ok so I take it I should play the FIW as the British, cause it's harder, with strict activation and activation bonus for the AI.
I am not sure about hardened attrition though.

And I was already wondering what I am doing wrong, considering how easy it is to control Ft. Ticonderoga, Yorktown, Norfolk, Norwalk, Newport, Wilmington, Falmouth, Berwick, .. Game has hardly begun and I think I can take Richmond in a few turns. Still have to defeat the continental army, but it must be terribly weakened, so far they have seen defeat after defeat in their fruitless attempts to capture back some of their cities.
Now that so many new troops appeared (Cornwallis, a small army paid with EPs in Halifax, Burgoigne should be on the way too) I am giving the rebels a year at maximum.
Good to know that I can expect more of a challenge as rebels.
