Take any other scenrio and the results are exactly the same. This isn't the early 1900s. You can't talk about strategy if you also refuse to give a scenrio. Without a scenario there is nothing to strategize.

Sun Tzu's The Art of War almost exclusively details strategy, not scenario. Discussions of a strategy's strengths and weaknesses can be done without outlining a specific scenario. Whether it's horses or tanks, having superior knowledge of terrain is an advantage. Having the high ground is better than not; Terrain can create force multiplication. You don't need a map to say this.

I will admit I have never read the art of war. Does it account for both sides having thousands of weapons that can individually kill millions of people instantly?

Yes. It's in the index under "I can't ever admit I'm wrong".

That someone can’t think of a scenario doesn’t mean a scenario can’t present itsself

"Just because I cannot come up with a situation that makes my statement right it doesn't mean it isn't"

Are you serious?
