I love this objective set and the objective myself. so good for taking out strong force users this one kinda hurt the sith bad. Love the grey squadron gunner makes your blast vehicles so much better with pistols now.  

I think how strong the objective is depends on how much pressure you can apply on the Force Struggle.

If you go mono-rebels, the Sith player may not have a need to commit his big units because he knows your units don't have many force pips and you're likely losing a good amount of firepower if you are commiting units.

 

If Rebels get better at the Force Struggle, or you're running some Rebel/Jedi build, then you may force the DS to commit his best units, in which case the objective is very strong, no doubt.

That is a very good point. With my rebel deck I rarely even bother with the force so they easily take the force with units like the guards or other 1 and 2 pip units leaving the Vader's and palpatine's free from harm. Granted, you could probably put together a deck with echoes of the force and such to exploit that, but that could just weaken your deck.


Another thought though, is this set could be real nice in a character heavy Jedi deck too. They have lots of enhancements to avoid the board wipe and if your committing Yoda, Luke, obi wan etc, they would have to counter with other high pip units so that's another thought.

Which again, could prove very inconsistent because a piloted vehicle must deal the finishing blow. Going heavy Jedi is obviously the best way to have a strong Force Struggle, but deck would probably be lacking in vehicles and pilots to trigger the reaction on Called to Arms in the first place.

 

I'll try to pay close attention to how this set and decks with it work in the end, but for now I'm inclined to say the objective is only a 3/5.

I meant for the board wipe, and strong attackers, not the objective's reaction necessarily.
