No, no it would not of worked more to those ends.
To do that, and then take over King's Landing, and then convince the Lannister faithful to join her and not rebel, and then march up North to fight the "Real War" would take far too much time.
At this point the WWers would have taken over half of Westeros.
Unless of course, you are now OK with time travel and letting the WWers walk in circles for a year.
