Even if the rules say nothing specific about this , my opinion is that
this move march+overwatch is totally absurd ; furthermore , you loose 5
cm for disembarking, then you can move with left allowance , but
overwatch detachment can't move for they spend all their allowance in
disembarking .
Any more opinion ?
