In theory:
Only heavies would beat only soldiers.
Mix of heavies and soldiers would beat only heavies.

I don't think that's practical without tweaking snipers and other units as well
It's not just heavies vs soldiers
If heavies could move 3 there would be no need to spawn anything other than soldiers&heavies
An early rush of 5hp heavies & 4hp soldiers both able to get into range to attack any unit other than runners and both needing 2-3 units to take them out would just be too powerful IMO

Yeah it would affect the balance of all the other units but I think all will still be needed. Runners for vision and mobility, snipers for guarding spaces and hitting enemies without the need to be next to them...

Lowering the cost of heavy would make it be used more, but it would favor turtling as the defender spend much less moving it.
