But all these assumptions to victory only hold if the Stormcloaks and Empire stop fighting. It won't work if both armies grind each other to dust. A truce or even alliance will be VERY good, but, what are the chances?

As I did say, way earlier, the AD is no different to the empire. They will break up when the war is over so that one of them can lord it over, as they do not have a single, powerful leader.
