An in-depth answer to this question is not feasible, since all we know about the relative strengths of Numenor and Mordor is that the former's might was overwhelming to the point where Sauron's forces declined to fight and fled, even though he had the Ring!

So, militarily, the answer appears to be no.
Aside from the addition that getting all the dragons, giant spiders, and the Balrog to play ball was clearly not an option (else why hadn't Sauron done it?), I agree.

It'a safe bet that all Orcs and Trolls were already at his command.
