I have been running the campaign with me as Imperials and my gf playing two heroes, Gaarkhan (with extended hilt to give reach) and Diala. She was nervous to split up at first and went to the north room with both. Opening the door with Gaarkhan placed the Nexu in the room, while Diala dealt with the elite probe droid. After taking two rounds to get the first terminal (she had lost the side mission before and was a little gun shy to risk too much) she decided to split up, sending Diala to the east room, and Gaar to the south. Her room triggered the stun challenge, which she passed, his triggered the move the probe droids, trying to get them closer to him (probably should have gone for threat). Both characters ran past the nexu in the path to the left rather than attacking, trying to get to the door. I didn't deploy for a while until I could afford threat to put two squads of storm troopers in (probably a mistake, thought I'd have more time, and a walker, which apparently didn't think it was an important enough mission important to show up for).
She managed to beat the mission in round 4, only killed one probe droid and the nexu I put in the room, ran past everything else and only got the crate in the south room. Overall I think ignoring fights and lucky rolls were the key. She got lucky with terminal/hero combos too, three dice for every test. But even if she took an extra round Weiss couldn't have gotten to them in time. Using strain for extra move points was a factor as well, getting her in range of terminals and doors quick and saving actions for interacts.
Too bad, I was looking forward to surprising her with Weiss' deployment. I was going to use a german accent and everything.
Overall we are loving this game, shes not normally one for something so technical but shes very good at it.
