As I explained before, Hammerfell is totally different. The climate is dry, the weather is hot, and the Dominion have never really been there before. The Empire and the natives are the only ones Who know how to handle the area, in addition to knowing the terrain they could easily win the battle. A battle. Hammerfell is not winning against the Thalmor, rather, have won the day. They have no chance against a full fledged Dominion assault, and would not prove much of a help to Skyrim, especially if it is Ulfric Stormcloak. Hammerfell will be reluctant to help anyone, since it was pushed out by The Empire. Morrowind is similar because of the Oblivion Crisis, so they won't be much help either. Skyrim will have no allies if it goes independent, in addition to it being war beaten. Because of The Civil War, Skyrim will not survive alone. There will be almost no manpower to stop The Dominion, and with The Empire also beaten because of the war, no one stands a chance, unless an outside force helps out...
