Is it possible to 3 star the "Los Diablos" mission?

What the title says. This mission consists of two stages of defending/killing stuff until time runs out, so you can't make it go faster than the amount of turns the game makes you do. This leads you to getting only two stars because you "took too long" And yes, all the heroes are alive so I'm not losing stars because of that. I also tried using the "delay reinforcements" card in the first part, but it still spent a turn where no minions spawned and only moved to the second part on the turn after that, so didn't help me do the mission any faster. This is on normal difficulty if that matters.

Anyone actually get 3 stars from this mission? I've gotten 3 stars on every other mission so far (my second playthrough) and even though some general missions have incredibly tight turn-limits to get 3 stars, none of them were IMPOSSIBLE TO DO like this mission seems to be.

Just did that mission, also 2 Starred it despite downing Sabertooth on turns 1 & 2 and downing the hulk 2/3 turns. Perhaps I need to 3/3 him?

Doesn't help, I killed both of them every single round as soon as they were back up again (Dark Hunter on Normal difficulty makes the game a joke honestly) and still only got 2 stars.

You only need the stars to unlock harder difficulties so it does not matter if you don't get three stars from every mission. Of course you can set it to yourself as a personal challenge, but that's like giving yourself the challenge of visiting every single star system in Elite Dangerous(can't be done within a single human lifetime).

The designed idea is to gain enough 2 and 3 star successes so that you unlock the higher difficulty, and to gain enough 2 and 3 star successes on that higher difficulty to unlock the next one etc. Once you find the difficulty level you prefer, the stars don't have much relevance anymore.

I hear you, and I agree. But you have to admit that this is obviously a mistake/design flaw from the developers, making a mission impossible to get 3 stars on. It does not matter much for anything and it is an extremely minor thing, but it did bother me enough to make this topic to point it out.
