Depends on the game. Lots of games involve long attrition of opportunistic potshots until one or both sides just give up. Yes if there is need to defend against rolling stock and aircraft the defenders will need explosives and rocketry. Drones are a big problem, however the supply chain keeping them in the air is vulnerable to the same opportunistic defense. Wars rarely won without mass boots on ground, but if the imbalance is bad enough, everyone could theoretically be killed by drones from regions and resource pools afar out of reach of the defender. At least one country has been excercising limited form of that for last 80 years. So far history has always raised spies, moles, defectors, bombers, conscience, interceding parties, protest, etc to balance things. Defunding war machines, say via cryptocurrency gold political/protest action, is the better option, but that requires a war of change in mind of "leaders" and masses, immunizing themselves against the propaganda of war being laid upon them via Media, etc. There is debate if "peace" is even possible in humanity, but it's worth more of a try.
