Stealth flying... starts to fly, if he is engaged he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.
So which special wins? We already know that disengage/stealth flying isn't absolute - for example, can't disengage from cyberclaw.

One way to look at is -- stealth flying/disenage doesn't say anything about avoiding "Coward's Reward" attacks - only "disengagement" attacks.

Of course the other side is to say Coward's Reward is a just an enhanced disengagement attack, so they can avoid it.

So, it boils down to -- is Coward's Reward an enhancement to Disengagement attacks, or is it a separate attack that only occurs when a figure disengages?
Enhancement. I bolded the obvious wording to clarify. Note that Cyber Claw explicitly states:

Quote:
Cyberclaw
All small or medium opponent's figures that enter or occupy a space adjacent to any Gladiatron may not move. Figures affected by the Cyberclaw cannot be moved by any special power on an Army Card or Glyph.
What does Cyberclaw have to do with the question?

Coward's reward is a bonus to the leaving engagement attack, if they don't get to make a leaving engagement attack, as is the case when a figure with disengage, disengages, they don't get the bonus.

Even if it were a second leaving engagement attack (which its not, its a bonus), it would still be a leaving engagement attack and figures with disengage don't take attacks when leaving an engagement.
