This thread is difficult. the conversation about the validity and applicability of a strategy keeps evolving into a sterile discussion between believers and non-believers. To improve the exchange of ideas, I propose a mental war game.

  • We fast-forward the American Revolution War into the future. The thirteen colonies are under British rule in 2011.
  • Everything on the ground (weapons, tactics, vehicles,...) remains the same.
  • The British Crown receives five aircraft carriers, a manual on the application of the Five-Ring Strategy and John Ashley Warden III himself to lead the British forces at Her Majesty's service.
  • The use of the aircraft carriers would double the monthly burden of the war effort, but only for the duration of the war.


My question is the following: under these circumstances, would the British forces win the War of American Revolution and keep the thirteen colonies under British rule?
