When predicting the effectiveness of a long military campaign, one needs to consider more factors than just strength of arms. You also need to think of logistics, intelligence, and supplies. For example, if our theoritical army of clones were to be dropped into Middle Earth with little or no logistical support, the orcs, who have all the supplies they need, would eventually wear them down. This is supported by some studies which show that the Roman legions would actually defeat a modern Marine force complete with tanks. This is because the Marines need fuel and ammuniton to continue fighting, whilst the Romans need almost nothing execpt for food.
