the stormcloaks cant even stand magic and the empire that used both magic and melee lost. the only way  i see the stormcloaks winning is if they get help from the dunmer or redguards. but i really doubt it considering how poorly they are treated in skyrim. everybody seems to think ulfric is ysgramor or talos but it took the dragonborn to tip the scales to his favor. the blades were the best of the best and they were destroyed i think people give the thalmor little credit on how strong they really are. they destroyed the empire basically even stormcloaks vs the empire was in favor to the thalmor.
