    REACTION FIRE translated to DSII is exactly the same as the standard
DSII interupt mechanism.

    OVERWATCH FIRE in DSII can only be performed by direct fire units
(or
units using indirect fire in direct fire mode eg artillery) that have a
OVERWATCH marker placed on them in a previous activation. The OVERWATCH
marker is placed instead of performing a combat action.
    Place the OVERWATCH marker in the firing arc that the unit is
overwatching. When an enemy unit MOVEs (not FIREs) in this arc, the
OVERWATCH unit can (note that it doesn't have to!) interrupt the move
and
fire at the enemy unit.
    The OVERWATCH unit fires with its normal fire control, even if it
had to
move to its current position in its previous action. This reflects
increased
time to aim, and makes it easy on players rather than forcing players to
remember if the unit had moved, or moved more than half.
    After the firing is completed, the OVERWATCH marker is removed.
    OVERWATCH markers persist over game turns until they are used by
firing
at any enemy unit, the unit moves or the OVERWATCH unit receives a UNDER
FIRE marker (reflecting the unit ducking for cover).
    Any thoughts, comments, OFFICIAL stamps of appoval?
