B.) Aldmeri morale is low while Imperial morale is high do to the change in the tide of the war.

C.) I definately find it hard to believe that all Imperial supply lines were cut off do to the fact that they didn't even make it more north than the Imperial city (and the Southern Coast of Hammerfell).

D.) If Hammerfell by itself could defeat the weakened Dominion then I can guarantee that the armies of Hammerfell, Cyrodiil, and untouched Skyrim and Highrock could still hold there own against the Aldmeri. A. No they don't, and while The AD's Cyrodiil army was wiped out, they had other forces equal to that of the remaining army of The Empire.

B. Morale doesn't feed people, or give them weapons/armor, nor is the AD's morale going to be low for long once they see their blatant advantage.

C. Anvil, Kvatch, Skingrad, all of them were attacked by the AD. The Empire's breadbasket area was sacked and destroyed by the AD, and Bruma and Cheydenhall aren't food producing cities. Furthermore, Hammerfell, and Skyrim, are reliant on food from Cyrodiil, since both nations climates are too harsh to make everything they need, so The Empire would be unable to draw from there.

D. The Redguards did not defeat the AD alone, they had the help of a large number of legion vets who were discharged by some of the generals because he didn't want to abandon Hammerfell completely.

And the Redguards did not defeat the AD in the first place, they only stalemated them. There is a large difference between the two, do not confuse it.
