If you hadn't started killing everyone before attacking the checkpoint, we would have had a chance.

It's a debatable point) because you were the ones who provoked it) since killing Ara was a very unexpected turn of events. You could have brought back your comrades and then killed Ara, but no... it wasn't a smart move (and what if he had died in the attack?). Since you killed Ara, you could have killed others too - it would have been much more sensible to secure yourselves. Therefore... we had to eliminate them. However, if our group had won, it would have been wiser not to go to the checkpoint, but to go further: to reach the boat or the free city. As they say: "Even if you are swallowed, there are two ways out." However, history doesn't allow for conditional sentences, and there are many "ifs" in our reasoning.
