Its not the movement; its remembering what individual movement _each 
character did_.  Remember, moving delayed strike rank, so if you had 
a bunch of bandits who were hitting normally on strike rank 5, but 
they moved different distances, it meant I had to remember one hit at 
SR 7, 3 at SR 8, 5 at SR 9 and 1 at SR 10.  This was a nuisance, to 
say the least (honestly, I suspect I simply lost track more often than not).
