Not only would the Falmer fail in their attack, they may be driven to endangerment. Think about it, assuming that the Dragonborn is still in Skyrim then the Falmer would have a serious threat. The Dragonborn has killed countless numbers of Falmer and I see he/she having no problem fending off a small army off them. Also if the Stormcloaks won the civil war and were in defense of Skyrim then they would surely have the upperhand, because when they were fighting the Empire their advantage was that they knew the battlefield much better because they were "sons and daughters of Skyrim". So in short Dragonbron+Stormcloaks+Local Militias and other towns= absolute sucess. As for the Imperials I think that they would still have a chance because of the Dragonborn and that they have military tactics, numbers, and equipment necessary to defend Skyrim from a Falmer invasion. To sum it all up: The Falmers may have a small chance against the Empire but will most likely fail to the Stormcloaks.
