(BTW, it is an interesting question how a hopper should be handled that passes though the brake zone. I suppose it should be able to hop over a mount there; but should such a square count as a mount when it is empty?)

I personally would answer this as a "no." I've generally regarded the hop as a bypass to a specific target, and in the case of a brake spell there's no target.

My question is: should a brake affect a rifle capture? I'd also say "no" to this on principle, but I'm not sure you could program the ID to recognize the "cab" string as "immune to brake."
