I disagree with your assessment of Washington's tactical intiatives. The Delaware==>Trenton fight is a classic case in point, a guerrilla battle which completely reversed expectations and dependned on high flexibility and unpredictable mobility.

One discussion supporting this perspective can be found here, FWIW.

Of course, military people are renowned for their stupidity and history is full of the same lesson being taught over and over. It seems, at least, that Lt Gen Von Ripen learned it, anyhow!
