1 Assassin. 1 Politican, 2 Merchants, 3 Mercenary, 2 Soldiers and 1 beggar, plus about 1 month 4 days or so is all I need to utterly destroy the Stormcloaks and bring Ulfric's head to Tullius on a platter. Realistically, war is not as simple as the game shows but it also allow for far more diverse strategies to defeat your enemy.

It isn't a trial and error, when it comes to the safety of your VIP, President or King is concerned nothing is trial and error or luck. It is strategy. It simply took Tullius that long to outsmart and capture Ulfric. A stroke of luck like Tullius stumbling upon Ulfric and company is not any kind of outsmarting anyone Stumbling? Ulfric walked straight into an ambush! Which part of ambush did you not get?

Ambush: A Surprise attack by people lying in wait of a concealed positon on someone by anticipating their movements.
