Hi all, I've found some different doubts with overwatch, which I couldn't find resolved neither in the books nor in the masterFAQ (I don't discard blindness):

1) Does a unit that went in to overwatch and then is broken retain the overwatch and be able to shot? I guess it doesn't, but it says nothing specifically (although overwatch is not very different to delaying an action)

2) Does a unit that went into overwatch support a firefight and still retain the overwatch? Looks like it is, even though they're "shooting" before releasing their overwatch.

3) Does a unit that is in overwatch and is assaulted retain overwatch if it wins the combat? And if it loses?

1: no
2: yes, firefight isnt "shooting" since it uses FF and not the ranged weaponry listed on the units stats
3: if it chooses not to shoot upon being charged, and wins, then yes. if it loses, it is broken, so no

Just as I thought then. Thanks. The implications of the other possibilities were so weird.

Arrrgh!, Kommando ambush. Thwack!, Everyone ok? Jones, you'd better have kept your goggles on...
