I have found a similar problem with teleporing units tearing me up. One quick question though: If a unit teleports in do i get my overwatch shots? This arose when some swooping hawks teleported with 15cms of my formation then engaged it without actually moving and thrashing me with vastly superior ff. I was wondering if an engage action counts as a move for overwatch purposes even if they don't actually move?
From the FAQ
Section 1.10: Overwatch
Q: Is a formation that is allowed to
move as part of an action, but which
decides to remain stationary,
considered to be moving for the
purposes of triggering Overwatch fire?
For example, if I take an Engage
action, but don’t move any units as
they are already within firefight range
of the enemy, can my opponent make
an Overwatch attack before the
Assault takes place?
A: Yes, to both the question and the
example. Overwatch is triggered when an
enemy formation ‘completes a move’.
Formations that could move but remain
stationary have still `completed a move’
and are therefore eligable targets.
I think you are correct.
