			====Disabling Shot vs Overwatch Aliens====
			* Effect: Weapon is disabled on the alien's next turn as per usual, but the alien can take an unlimited number of reaction shots during the player's turn. After discovering the bug (3 HP sectoid fired 5 reaction shots in a single turn at 3 different targets) was able to duplicate it on at least two other occasions.
			* Cause: An alien ends its turn on overwatch. On your turn, you use a sniper to disable the alien's weapon... either to close the distance to kill it or to stun it.

It seems that the game discounts the time spend while "Scanning For Activity" in Building Projects/Research/etc completion time but ignores the time spend in Mission Control without advancing the clock. This includes Skyranger flight time but also when you are simply looking at the Hologlobe and waiting the hours for a soldier to recover from an injury or for a critical research project to be completed.		* Cause: according to one [http://forums.2k.com/showthread.php?479221-Challenge-impossible-marathon-0-countries-lost-Going-to-try-Need-advice! poster] on the 2K forums this bug also applies to the missions created by the AI at the beginning of the month.

			* Implications: to avoid this bug, either start projects a few days earlier than their completed date. Or don't wait on Mission Control for the clock to tick down and always hit "Scan For Activity" or launch the Skyranger, even if that means you won't have that soldier who is recovering for an injury available for the mission.
