So, having this debate with some friends.. couldn't find anything in search.. sorry if i am stirring old pots.
Can a unit that is assaulting opt to go to ground when wounds are taken during overwatch?
Would it stop the assault?
Alternatively,
Can a unit that is jinking opt to go to ground?

You can't go to ground when you are charging

Well, you aren't given permission to Go to Ground while Charging...
A unit cannot be Pinned while Charging (or force Morale Checks)...
I am not aware of anything specifically preventing it, it sure seems that it is not allowed via other methods. It would mean stopping the action the unit is currently involved in (i.e. Charging) in favor of another action.

If you can't be pinned, I doubt you can go to ground? Given pinned is gtg albeit involuntary.

From the rulebook, last part of 'Go to Ground':
If a unit Goes to Ground from Overwatch, then the charge automatically fails.

Pretty sure every unit that can jink are forbidden from going to ground for some other reason. Skimmers can't because they're vehicles, bikes are explicitly forbidden from going to ground, and FMCs can't go to ground either.

Yep you can go to ground when taking fire from assaulting, as said you fail the charge but gain some cover.
And yes Drones from the Drone Net formation can both Jink and GtG.

You actually can go to ground when being shot at, so if you do it during the assault phase, you end up failing your charge which can be useful.

Its very useful to absorb overwatch with a secondary unit without losing them, particularly with things like TAU or those that can fire Overwatch at better than BS1
