Um.. You say "yes", but then you explain something that is "yes but not
yes". ;)

Attempted recap:

2) small target movement (fighters and ordnance already on the table)
4) launch phase (any fighters launched do not move away from launching
platform; see next step)
5) fighter movement (allows fighters just launched to react to
ordnance movement)

So,

2 - Fighters/Ord not-launched-this-turn may make a full move.
4 - New stuff launched this turn may make a half move.
5 - Fighters on table may make a full move.

Fighters may move either 1.5 max speed (if launched this turn) or 2x
full speed if already out, giving them 2 moves per turn, but one at
reduced speed.

Ordnance moves EITHER have speed (if launched this turn) or full speed
(if not launched this turn and on table).  Ordnance moves ONCE pert
turn, but at reduced speed if launched this turn.

Yes?
