Actually, I would put hammerfellian warriors a cut above skyrim's nords. Not to mention there are nords fighting on either side of the civil war. The loss of life would make for easy pickings if the thalmor acted quickly enough. However, given the state that they're in after the great war (picking up pieces of their own ass scattered around), they might not have the man power to do it right away.
