In the campaign, I feel that the Imperial player is overpowered and that the game is hard on the heroes. I know that there are other threads which discuss this issue, but I've not read anything from the perspective of solo play testing. By that, I mean that I play the game alone, as both the Imperial and hero players. I consider this to be a better way to play test the campaign as it eliminates the difference in skill level among the players. I play both sides fairly. I do the best that I can when playing as each player. When playing as a hero I play as though I am unaware of any of the hidden information in the campaign guide. I play as though I am unaware of what the “other” player's next move will be and I make the best moves that I would normally make. Some may consider this to be a bit schizophrenic.

I've played the campaign twice, once with only two heroes using the Legendary reward and once with 4 heroes. Both games resulted in an easy Imperial victory. My first play through was with Gaarkhan, Jyn and Military Might. My second was with Gideon, Diala, Mak, Gaarkhan and Technological Superiority.
I wish for the heroes to win, but I play fairly that either side may win and the Imperials always seem to have the upper hand. For most of the missions the ultimate goal is not always clearly revealed until later in the game and I feel like the heroes have very little room for error. Either they run out of time, trying to kill off Imperial figures to make the objective easier. Or, they rush the objective, ignoring the mass of Imperial figures, then become overwhelmed and are easily wounded. What gives?!
Hero victories are rare with me. I'm wondering if anyone else plays solo as I do. If so, what are your results and what tips or strategies might you recommend?
