As always, however, the redguards are a huge problem. if they decide to support the empire, the difficulty of the war will multiply several times over. However, due to a war with the thalmor and civil war that ended just 20 years prior to alduin's return, I'm sure that Hammerfell is either too exhausted to do more than defend themselves, or at the very most, provide minimal support to High Rock. If they recovered faster than I thought, and decide to go on the offensive, invading tamriel is almost impossible for Thalmor alone.
