Taillebois, welcome to WIA!!! It's a great game, and a ton of fun, especially playing by PBEM.
This is actually one of the tougher scenarios in the game IMHO. You got to move quickly as the Brits, which invovles executing 2 naval invasions to capture Wilmington and Charleston. A degree of luck is involved, as I have had winter weather mess up my operations at times, and other times no. Wilmington falls pretty easy usually, it's Charleston that can be the tough one. If the Americans leave a strong force inside, it will make the assault quite difficult, whereas on occasion I have had the Americans present there leave to go after Georgia, making the invasion much more tenable. Other than that, use what few forces you having inland to seize your strategic towns and do your best to hold them. You can't waste anytime on the naval invasions, as you only have 6 turns and the fleet doesn't arrive until turn 2.
