Just out of curiosity, why do people keep saying Revan had less of an army at his disposal against the Mandalorians? By Canderous' own admission, the Republic out manned them 5 to 1. That means Revan had 5 times the fleet/soldiers that the Mandalorians did.
And as for Thrawn's technology being better than the New Republic, again, no. The New Republic was the dominant power, and Thrawn only had the remaining scraps of the dying Empire at his disposal.

Revan also had all the Jedi that followed him into the war, and Jedi count as like 6 soldiers.
