(I know the Stormcloaks have four holds to my one, but with my recruitment bonuses, surely I shouldn't be outnumbered ten to one.)

Set up a network of spies and scouts throughout Skyrim, reporting intelligence on Stormcloak and Imperial armies, camps, and forts.

Plant rumours in Windhelm that Wuuthrad, the axe of Ysgramor, may be crucial to winning the war. Also plant rumours that high ranking Stormcloak(s) are vampires.

Set up a smithy's guild, and ask Eorlund Graymane to share the Skyforge with apprentices, allowing then to use it when he isn't.

Encourage more people to become soldiers, using propaganda posters, the promise of a pensions, and taxing the families of non-combatants, unless they can verify that they are helping to supply the army. Use the Companions to help train soldiers.

Raise an army to clear out Halted Streams Camp and set up a mine there.

Contact the Empire and inquire about weapon, ore, and food shipments in exchange for alliance.
