OVERWATCH
Overwatch provides a reactionary shot that targets any hostile unit moving within the available detection range. When Overwatch is activated it ends the player's turn. If any hostile units move into the player's field of vision while active, the player will automatically attack that target and this is called an "Overwatch shot". Only one Overwatch shot may normally happen. Overwatch remains active until the start of the player's next turn, unless the soldier has attacked an enemy. You don’t have to make an overwatch shot if you don’t want to. When you activate Overwatch Mode with a Standard Action, your Overwatch lasts until you use a Free Action in your turn to cancel it. You cannot make Standard Actions, only 1 Move Action per round and Counter Actions can be made during Overwatch Mode.
