Not so much as in other games. In many other wargames, my normal move 
is X and my charge or run move is 150% of X. In SG2, your combat move 
is dX x 2. That means, if you suck and roll a 1, you go very little 
distance. So premeasurement for movement is hard. Now, for fire (with 
range bands being deterministic), it would make a difference.
