I was unaware that Overwatch gives you -1 to hit, I thought just a cover save.
-1 to hit is from 'being in cover' and open ground is listed as not providing cover. Overwatch gives you a save, but if you were in open ground do you get the -1?

The CC of which I attended a day would dissagee on warhounds :) I'll do that report at the airport, otherwise off to pack!

Actually, you get both: if you have something giving you a "cover save" you've also got the -1 to be hit modifier.

1.8.3 Infantry Cover Saves
Certain terrain is noted as giving infantry a cover save. While in such terrain, the infantry receive the cover save listed on the Terrain table in addition to the -1 to hit modifier for being in cover. The cover save can be used instead of their normal armour save whenever they have to take an armour save. Note that they can use  one or the other of these saves against a hit, not both.

"Open ground" gives infantry on overwatch a cover save and, therefore, they get the -1 to hit as well.

Chroma I've stuck the overwatch question on the sg forum, otherwise write up of CC as soon as finished it!
