"This tactic is important for 2 reasons. 1. Aliens get a free move when they are seen and if the alien moves into view of a soldier that has already been put on overwatch they cannot use that turn to fire."
I am quite sure I have seen my soldier set already on overwatch shooting aliens spot by another soldier, in aliens' extra turn. Can someone else confirm this, please?
