Overwatch only allows rerolls on hit dice... not the dice you roll to see
how many A-T shots you get.

But that's beside the point. :) You _can't_ give orders to War engines!
War Engines never get Overwatch or March. They move normally in Movement
phase, shoot normally in Shooting, and move once again during Assault...
_that's_it!
