With Recover the Supplies mission, after the troopers "claim" the token, do they take it with them the entire game until they are killed or do you simply just flip the token over? Never understood this since minis can't sit on objective tokens.

Flip the token over to claim and then it has to remain in base contact with the unit leader for the rest of the game (unless the leader becomes panicked or is defeated).

Since minis cannot overlap them, you do have to take the token into account when it comes to placing multi-figure units. Think of it as an actual object that the unit leader is dragging around with him - gotta take up some space, right?

It’s under Objective Tokens on page 35 of the RRG. Once claimed, it moves around with the unit leader in base contact. And they drop it if the leader is defeated or the unit becomes panicked.

So basically, grab it and hide!

Is there a Rules reference for minis not being allowed to overlap the objective?

Yes, Page 29 of RRG (second to last bullet point under Objective Tokens):

• Miniatures cannot overlap objective tokens.

You mean the first bullet point on page 35?

Huh. The version on my phone must be an older one. Just looked it up in another browser and it's now on page 35 and the first bullet point. My mistake.
