Answer

Ruling: No, your opponent cannot play Action spells/abilities during your turn unless a Showdown occurs. A Showdown only occurs when control of a battlefield would change, so moving your unit to an objective you already control does not trigger a Showdown.

Sequence:

  • You control an objective with a unit already there
  • You move another unit to the same objective
  • Control does not change, so no Showdown occurs
  • Your opponent cannot play Actions during your turn without a Showdown

Nuances:

  • Your opponent can still play Reactions if you start a chain during your turn
  • Moving itself does not start a chain
  • If the unit being moved has an effect that triggers when something moves, it will open a chain
