does anyone have experience running a 5 rebel hero team for the Hoth Campaign? if so what adjustments did you make to make it fairly balanced throughout the campaign without one side slowly steamrolling the other

i ask because i have a large interest in my secondary campaign that i'm about to run, and rather than leave 1 person out, i'd like to try and include them if i can

does adding in say a group of regular stormtroopers into the initial deployment help with the starting balance?

it has been discussed a bit before on the forums. cant find the link to the thread. for me, I have an extra friend sometimes over, and is not interested in the campaign length, so i give him a rebel ally to use on the mission and that extra player, plays as them. using the same threat increase rules for when an ally is added. I sometimes get them on the imperial side and control on of the many open groups.

I think there were some suggestions of keeping the credit distribution the same. (as in for 4 heroes) and for the imperial, each missions threat level is increased by 1.

I have not tested multiple (more than 4) heroes before
