I'm pretty sure it was more a matter of convieniance.

He had the Numidium so why not use it.

Of course Ulfric doesn't think he can do it with only Nords, though when one looks at what 500 accomplished...

Anyway, stop making the AD into this massive invincible force.

They simply aren't. Odd, I never said they were an invincible force. Please, show me where in my comment I said that.

Nothing? That's because I never did. Don't use strawman arguments and put words in my mouth.

Tiber had far more than 500 soldiers, yet he was still forced to use the Numidium, and even then it took him a while to subdue the Dominion. They're not invincible, but they're not pushovers either.

And I would take the legend of the 500 well salted if i were you. It's just that: a legend.

Take for example to legend of the 300 Spartans:

The legend: 300 Spartans hold off 1 million Persians.

The reality: 300 Spartans and 8,000 regular Greek Hoplites hold off 100,000 Persians. Actually there were only 150 spartans and the battle took 3 years, and the numbers of the Persians were way more than 1 million, they were sent in varying sized waves at the Spartans
