So today we managed to confuse ourselves over movement, normal movement, charges, capital gains tax, etc. To make sure we are on the right track;

Normal movement includes any movement you conduct during your activation

Correct.

Doubling your speed characteristic affects any speed based movement the model might make (be it during normal activation or not!)

Correct.

Bonuses to movement act as as an addition to the movement--not an exponential modifier. So if something states "Gets +2 movement"---if that model were to run it would move at 2X Spd + 2 inches. If it were to charge, it would charge at Speed + 2 + 3
Bonuses to speed act as an exponential modifier to the base characteristics. So if something states "Gets +2 Speed"--if that model were to run it would move at: (Speed + 2) X 2. However just like a bonus to movement, if it were to charge, it would charge at Speed + 2 + 3

Correct, except I'd call it a multiplier rather than exponential.

If an ability or spell allows you to make an additional move after your normal move activation, only bonuses to speed would apply (Provided they lasted the turn/round)

Depends. Bonus to speed apply when it says you may make an advance. If it
says you may advance x inches, then you can only move x and spd bonuses
do not apply.

If an ability or spell allows you to make an additional move after your normal activation, bonuses to movement would not apply

Correct. Again check the wording. It might say advance or advance x.

Only at Dakka do you not only get a polite lock for necroing a thread but also the Mod reposts the question(s) for you--then provides the answers. Thanks Malred

Looks like we understood it right...and that helps me understand why some of the tier benefits are better than they appear (+2 spd makes for a nice 1st turn position for example in scenario play)

Best thing to do is remember your mathematical order of operations and you'll be fine on this.
