The Alamo defense works wonders. You can also think of it as "Strategic Offense, Tactical Defense." It's where you all group up and move together to a defensible position, which you then force the enemy to attack in some high-risk fashion. The plateau on Alpine (I9 IIRC) is a great example of a dominant position where blobbing to it quickly and then going defense almost always works.

What you are objecting to, OP, is not an Alamo situation, rather it's the group not committing to a course of action. By and large a grouped-up team can roll even a well-coordinated team using fancier tactics, so long as they move together (note: actually moving is pretty key to moving together). Indecision and failure to support each other are what lead to fish-in-a-barrel team wipes.
