N18 Overwatch and activations

[TOMITCHE]

Hi all, hope you are well.

Need advice please:

Enemy Ganger attempts to charge friendly ganger
Friendly ganger with Overwatch interrupts and pins target (ready marker removed)
Enemy Ganger pinned (activation ends)

Who's activation is it next? Enemy gang or my gang?

It would be your turn:

- they activated
- you overwatched and pinned
- their activation is over
- it is now your activation

yes, overwatch is very strong

Huge is correct.

One thing to bear in mind is the overwatcher must be able to see the fighter at the start of the action so if you are charging around a corner they can't overwatch you, although you'd then be taking a -1 to hit penalty on your attacks.

perhaps something to keep in mind:
-when your champion 'overwatches' he/she can not activate other models, it's a trade in...
you're able to interrupt a charger / a static firing platform at the possible cost of group activations

-a few off the palanite drills are better at interrupting charges (threat response & got your six)
but got your six would need a line off sight on the charger (same as overwatch) or maximum 6" distance to the charged model (threat response)
