Snow Elves and Altmer are two completely different species. They're Elves. That's the only things they have in common.

Sure, it could be done again. It could also fail. More than 500 Nords tried to defeat the Dunmer and Dwemer at the Battle of Red Mountain and they FAILED. They were also Elves, against Nords Warriors AND Masters of the Voice. Yet they failed. Because not all Elves are the same.

Not even close to winning? They were one victory away from defeating the Empire. They could see victory without binoculars, they were so close. Sure, but how many Elder Scrolls legends turn out to have happened or been true all along?

Literally every single one of them?

That's all they need to have in common for my point to stand.

Well, yes but did they go into those battles overestimating the Altmer?

Since they lost I'd argue that yes they overestimated the Altmer.

Not all elves are the same but all elves are in fact elves.

Do explain why they threw away their assured victory with the WGC?

You are saying that the AD was winning, why allow their enemy to rearm?

Victory was right there within their eyesight like you're saying but still they don't pursue it.

Why didn't they?

Are they stupid?
