Depends entirely on how many different tech toys you have available. In 
high-TL StarFire campaigns (eg. ISW4, described in "In Death Ground" and

"The Shiva Option") you have a lot of toys, and a *huge* amount of
tactical 
sophistication with which to use those toys... but in the end, the 
advantage still lies with the attacker simply because he can choose
where 
to strike while any fixed defences have to be spread out to cover
multiple 
avenues of attack.
