What's the alternative?

Both sides just can't sit still indefinitely, you have to try and take ground at some point. This means sending copious amounts of meat sacks to tank all of the ammunition.

It's amazing how warfare went from poking and prodding with 20 ft pikes until one side routes to the absolute bloodbath it became from napoleon onwards.
