{.wrap-right} Overwatch defines a Complex Action that assigns an Overwatch Token to a Unit. Upon declaration of this Action, the Unit Activation sequence concludes immediately. A Unit possessing an Overwatch Token is authorized to interrupt a subsequent Enemy Unit Activation sequence to resolve an out-of-sequence Shoot Action. This interruption trigger is restricted to two specific timing windows: the interval immediately following the Nomination of an Enemy Unit, or the interval immediately following the finalization of all Actions resolved by an Enemy Unit.
- The Target must reside within the attacking Unit's Line Of Sight and weapon Range to satisfy the requirements for the resolution of the out-of-sequence Shoot Action.
- The Overwatch Token is discarded immediately upon the finalization of the out-of-sequence Shoot Action resolution.
- If a Unit possessing an Overwatch Token is Nominated for Activation, the token is removed immediately prior to the Command Roll.
- Units currently possessing a Shaken Token are prohibited from declaring an Overwatch Action.
