On the Horribly Incorrect Inuit

[Dead Guy]

The easy way to annihilate natives:

Set up on a slope, infantry at the base and more infantry and cannon behind. Start shooting round shot to make the natives send some units at you (sometimes it's possible to lure them to you by flanking with cavalry and running back behind your line), switch to cannister and watch them rout. If you have fire by rank, they will be completely undone when your second line of infantry starts firing. Charge their annoying bowmen with cavalry. I managed to destroy 5 units of bowmen that were bunched up with 2 units of cavalry.

I've won when slightly outnumbered losing maybe 150 men. It may be better to attack than to defend, sometimes the natives have sent a quarter of their army at me at a time... Once they sent all their cavalry first, then all their melee and finally they only had bowmen left. Fail. Just don't get into one big melee with these guys, that's not using your advantages but letting them use theirs.

As is, this works entirely too well on any AI army without artillery. They will form a column (badly) and walk headlong into your firing line. Thx advanced AI.
