Hey guys,

Situation:

My stealer steps into LOS.
Marine fires on OW. Jams.

Now, what he did next was spend a command point to unjam before I took my second step.

The thinking there was he had just seen an action and could spend a point.

My thinking was he would need to see another step first, then do it, because otherwise it's almost like the shot/unjam were simultaneous?

Who was right?

Could someone give me a summary? Game in a few hours and blocked from BGG. Thanks!

I didn't read what was linked but the way I understand it (and play it) is OW shooting is a reaction to the stealer'S moving action, already. Since you get only 1 reaction for every one stealer action in LOS, I'd say you can only unjam if the stealer takes another action in LOS.
