    This can be done easily on the first level in a non tutorial playthrough. I did this on Commander difficulty.

    To do this you need stay concealed. Organize your troops around a group of enemies so that they're at 65%+ accuracy. On the turn you're prepared to kill the enemies make 3 soldiers go into overwatch. Take your time with this as the first mission doesn't have a time limit.

    Using your last soldier throw a grenade into the enemy group. The result should be at least 1 enemy being killed immediately and the others being left with 1 hp remaining.
    With the initial attack completed the enemies will run for cover but will activate your overwatch. Once the enemies are dead the achievement will unlock.

    PoppyMinotaur63I pulled this off in the second level with only one soldier in overwatch. However, I set him up so that he was in overwatch with a direct line of sight to two enemies.

    Then I took a different soldier who was already in a direct line of sight and had her shoot dead one of the enemies. The second enemy took off running, and my overwatch soldier shot him dead. This earned me the achievement.

    In fact, I got the notification for the achievement before the non-overwatch soldier's first kill's mini cutscene finished.

    TL;DR I believe it only takes one soldier in Overwatch to kill an enemy who is scattering from a different soldier's kill.
