So to sum up.

If you believe grounded does not remove swooping, the MC:
* still has Hard to Hit, but loses any jink save it might have had;
* can be repeatedly forced to take grounding tests, although only once for each unit firing at it;
* if assaulted and remains locked in assault, dies instantly in its next movement, as it can't move, but is already in assault.

If you believe grounded does remove swooping, the MC:
* loses Hard to Hit and any jink save it might have had;
* does not have to take any other grounded tests;
* fights normally in assault in the next phase and there after.

Correct?

With that, I'm killing the thread - there's nothing further to discuss here, and some posters are getting awfully free with throwing disparaging labels at people with contrary viewpoints.
