Scenario:
A unit of Boyz is embarked in a Battlewagon with a Warboss in Mega Armor. The BW is assaulted. Normally, a unit in a transport can fire Overwatch if their transport is assaulted. However, in this case the unit is Slow and Purposeful, because it contains one model with the SnP rule (the MAWB). SnP denies the ability to fire Overwatch. So can the unit fire Overwatch, or not?

As long as the Restriction itself is 'in play,' then the action being restricted is not legal.

That's pretty much what I figured -- that the unit cannot fire Overwatch because it is SnP. I thought I would ask in case there was some rule I was missing that was conveyed on the unit (like how a unit embarked on a transport is Fearless, for instance). If anyone has any other thoughts on the subject, feel free to post. Thanks!

I agree with the two of you. SnP prevents the overwatch.
