Close Combat and Hunker Down[]

The article currently states that Close Combat will still trigger if the trooper is using Hunker Down. I've observed the opposite effect. I had an Assault Covert Operative w/ Mimetic Skin in position to block an Exalt Hack, and despite being surrounded, she never fired on the Exalt goons milling about the area... until that one turn where I accidentally put her on overwatch along with everyone else. Uh, oops. Anyway, what level of citation is sufficient? Personal experience?

Could it be because the soldier was acting as a Covert Operative at the time? Have you been able to replicate the experience with an Assault acting in their regular capacity? Personal experiences can be a valid information base but it's usually best to have some certainty before you post such as multiple observed circumstances or outside confirmation.
