Why did british soldiers fare poorly at the beginning of the french and indian war?

The war started poorly for Britain because they are unfamiliar with the land; that is why they became easy targets for ambush by French troops and Native Americans. The result, they suffered many deaths from the plague and scurvy, and at the hands of France in North America during 1754–55; and in the loss of Menorca in 1756.
