Well I guess I don't see normal movement as being necessarily stealthy
movement.
Troops are not by nature stealthy in their movement. They are not
overtly noisy
but nor are they deliberately stealthy in normal movement. Properly
executed
deliberate stealthy movemnt is a conscious, tiresome and slow act, you
can't
keep it up all day long no matter how hard you try.  Now if there was a
reason
to have stealthy movement in FMA, (Say there was hidden movement of
referred GM
type of double blind game), then that would be an _excellent_ candidate
for a
movement type. Something like the employment of stealthy movement
hinders
detection attempts by shifting down one die type, but it also shifts
your
movement range down one die type also.
