No, you'll simply find that both commandrs are in the same
unsatisfactory position.  And you missed LL's point, despite
inadvertently acknowledging it in your reply.  He said:

"Blue hasn't any idea of what he needs to do to win. "

As you went on to say,

True enough, but that's the problem.  In your scenario, neither
commander knows what he must do to win, just what he must do to not
lose.  That means we're back to the game being nothing more than a
slugfest, with both sides trying to kill as many of the enemy as
possible.
