You can't tell how many times, but the fact that you can tell a move was made at all can be useful. For example in cases where you've seen all his units move but then that icon appears, you can infer a unit was spawned. Or if you know he spawned a unit and moved his units, then you can tell a medic healed, and so on.

Not always is the thing, that icon gets pretty tricky. For example, I played a league game and was able to see his moves that he made in my range of vision. But at the very end of his turn, a sneaky man icon appeared (everything else that turn he did, I was able to see). I assumed he made a runner but I didn't know, but when I went to rewatch it after I finished the game, it appeared that on the end of that turn, he didn't even make a move! Yet for some reason the sneaky man showed (this has actually happened several times already)

If this is so, I wish they would just get rid of the thing and save some time xp
I had always thought the person was doing something when the guy appeared.

I don't know. I'm with szei though. Whenever I see that icon it always corresponds with an action. I've never come across a situation like the one alex describes where the symbol pops up but my opponent didn't do anything. That has never happened. Every time it pops up and there is only one action my opponent could have taken in the fog, my opponent did indeed take that action.

Maybe I'll do some pass and plays to test it, but I'm pretty sure it always works, or I've just been lucky.
