Engaging the Death Star
Published on 24 January 2013 - 16:20:29

It seemed so easy to enhance the Death Star with that Enhancement card, so it can be Engaged.  However, what does "Engage as though it was an Objective" mean when it is immediately followed by "It is not an Objective"?  If it is never an Objective, you could never put damage on from units with the  Blast Icon - Just ridiculous - nor the Fate card that does damage during the Edge Battle, or even the Objective that adds damage if you win the Edge Battle!  These must be allowed, but what about the Event that does 2 damage to an Objective if it is played during an engagement with the Death Star?  The only difference is the wording of 'Engaged Objective' and just 'Objective'.  Any official word on what is allowed or isn't?  Cheers!

Probably the most contentious debate in this game to date.

Nuff said.

Thanks for the forum link.  Has it been FAQed yet?  The general consensus seems to be that 'Engaged Objective' things work, but not 'Objective' things.  That looks the simplest way to cover things until the official answer comes out.  The Luke Skywalker not being able to use it just looks like a 'Thematic' oversight from the films climatic scene.  Cheers!

No FAQ yet :-( Also, you can use Luke with Trench Run, just not Red 5. *shrugs*

Ah, the joys of gamisms … Nothing better than a little disconnect due to rules.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet a future iteration of Red 5 will be usable with Trench Run.  The Red 5 we have from the core set would be OP with Trench Run.

The truth this is.
