Based on what information are they infiltrated in the Imperial Court or Legions? They have agents in the land, as they would have REGARDLESS of the treaty since the Empire lost the Blades who were the Imperial Agents.
I never said Ulfric would lead them, no-ONE would it would be a culmination of all the races.
And who would lead the army? No one as you say it, there would be several armies with different leaders versus a single army.
In terms of the military a well structured clear chain of command and a supreme commander so to speak is one of the keys to victory. The Empire has this army as do the Thalmor. The alliance you are talking about wouldn't.
It would work because they would force the Thalmor into one place, Tamriel will have no leader, Tamriel needs no leader.
Just how do you force a superior force into an inferior position where a numerically weaker force can defeat it? There are ways to do that but not many more so for an unrulely mob. How will it fallow up on a chance victory here and strike at the Thalmor homeland? Else you will be fighting this war every 50 years. How do you keep the Thalmor from attacking the other states positions one at a time while only using a holding force to draw the united army down?
Logistics are key. It is easier to fight with and supply one Army, from One Source, rather than 7 armies with varrying gear, mutions and habits.
Tamriel Would need at the least a Military Leader.
The Thalmor will have one. Sure a mob force can win against a guided enemy. But only at high cost. The Nord Way of Battle may be skirishers and one on one honor duels. But you know what else it is?
Stupid.
A Unified Army at least in command is needed to fight another Army. Even Historical Militant movements that overthrew governments took up leadership and command structures. In all of history there never has been a "peoples Army" or a Anarchist Mob that has overtaken a standard military unit, unless via massive size and attack. And even then with loses of 10 to 1.
To suggest a leader is not needed, or that the Thalmor will co-op to your battleplan is the greatest fallace of all. Much like those at the battle of little big horn.
