That was the original intent, since the game has no concept of set-up times. Ability to move 6 points means it will take a move or more likely 2 or 3 to displace a useful distance. (Some other OOB designers seem to have forgotten this and have given other mobile heavy SAM systems speeds of a squillion hexes - We will review heavy mobile SAMs move points this autumn)
