I guess it *could* happen, but I think it's substantially less likely (unless, as you mention, the big guns are banned). TA has nukes (and also nuke interceptors -- but then it's a race to see who can overwhelm whom first) but also immense ranged artillery against which there is no defense except terrain (far sides of hills), plus super ultimate gatling artillery with absolutely ridiculous fire rates, and the Core side has the Krogoth unit which, while nearly impossible to build, is nigh-unkillable (two nukes or maybe a half-dozen artillery hits).
With the unit variety in the later editions of TA (when they had more differentiation between the fleeter, ballistics-based Arm and the bulkier, more heavily armored and laser-based Core), it would be hard to find a turtle that couldn't be cracked. If they go ground, you can go air, but beware of flak. Or maybe there's a way around via water, in which case you can build a fleet of ships or hovercraft (or hovercraft transports and stick conventional units int them) or even a fleet of lifting aircraft and pick up tanks and stuff and go in over the top.
Hell, you could even build the stealthed assassin units and go in silent assuming the chokehold had a gap (beware of minefields, though). Or send in the walking bombs.
God, what a great fuckin' game.
