Ginger, that answer is that you don't have to activate a formation with OW. You can keep it and are not forced to activate it (and keep the OW). However if you have stopped taking activations, you cannot then later try to activate the OW formation.
Hena, I do not think that you are right here, at least according to the thread on the SG boards.
1.6.1 states that all formations must activate - no exception, and they may only activate once per turn. OW can be thought of as a delayed action - in this case passed on to the following turn. So it the formation shoots, it cannot do anything else.
However 1.6.1 forces it to do something - so if it is the last formation to activate, the player must declare an action and pass an activation test as usual even it that action is to go on OW again.
Its just strange that almost every one plays that overwatch can go on indefinetly.
I always thought it would have been nice if in the overwatch section it was stated categorically one way or the other.
