Did I miss a Q&A that stated the disrupt blast markers get to reroll on
over watch? I don't think they get to.
Over watch lets you re roll "hit" dice. Disrupts DON'T HIT, therefore
do not get to roll again. (Rule book page 13, Page 33). All the other
SHW (i.e. the ones that kill things) use the term "hit". Distrupts
don't hit , they place blast markers and "do no other damage". Allen,
Q&A time!
