We have seen that very thing happen more then once in history ( at least I have in history class). US war for independence is one example that comes to mind. A small disorganized army beat an empire. Iraq had the US and allied forces out numbered something like 12-1 in the conflict under the first Pres. Bush. The conquistadors faced greater numbers of natives in the "new world" and so on.

Numbers do not win wars, at least not alone. But we drift of topic here...

For his book its perfectly reasonable that the breeders could launch a guerrilla warfare style tactics on the immortals and cause lots of harm and good reading.

Yeah, I'd already figured to use guerrilla tactics simply because that's going to be the most effective tactic to use against a superior enemy, as was previously stated. Especially when the enemy is smarter, faster, stronger, and just outright better than you. In the case of the breaders, their advantage is that they have a renewable resource, namely people, whereas the immortals do not. So even if it takes decades, the more immortals you kill, and the more kids you make, the more likely you are to beat out your opponent.
