Hurling into combat?

So I had a question on hurling a model that I was thinking about. If I have a cave troll fighting Aragorn and the cave troll wins and electes to hurl Aragorn. Can I hurl him into say the Watcher before the Watcher has entered combat and have the Watcher strike him if he too wins his combat?

I was wondering because the rules for hurl don't specify that the models aren't touching at the end of the throw only that you need move them enough for the thrown model to be prone where he lands

Hmm that sounds a bit tricky... I would say, though I'm not sure, that when the rules say about moving any models underneath the hurled model the MINIMUM DISTANCE so that the hurled model can be placed prone. When it says the MINIMUM DISTANCE I presume that also means the underneath model(s) are also out of base contact. That is only how I saw it but a very good question that someone else will know a better answer to

Yes. I just wasn't sure which would yield the quickest answers so I posted it at both places at the same time

In short? No.

Under the rules for control zones (pg22) it states no model may enter another models control zone unless it is charging. Being hurled isn't a charge and the hurl rules don't specifically state that the model can enter the control zone of another model.

Well this means I have to move every other model 1" away?!

Only if the hurl means a model would finish on top of another model.
