True, but it wouldn't help you much. On page 13 of the rulebook, it
states that overwatching troops may move up to 5 cm in the movement
phase. You could easily interpret this to mean you cannot move the
model more than 5cm, not just that the model can only use 5cm of it's
own movement. And seeing that it costs 5cm to get into or out of a
transport, this means that transports on march orders carrying
overwatching troops could only move up to 5cm befor disgorging the
troops, otherwise they would be violating the overwatch rule. ie.
transports carrying overwatch troops can only move up to 5cm.
