Their Rules of Engagement were incompatible and british soldiers were untrained for guerrilla tactics. It is like you are given a set of rules and some people don't follow them and surprise you with their own rules and hidden agendas...

They didn't. In general the militia was pretty useless when facing British regulars. (Just like any untrained militia when facing professional troops.)
The battle of Cowpens was about the only time militia was really useful - and that was because the militia running away was part of the plan.
