Nope.  As far as I know, charm adds directly to base movement.  So if you
have a force with base move 25, and you have a 20 point charm, your unforced
move is 45, and your forced move is 45 * 1.3 = 58.5.

More important detail - if you stick a charm of movement on a force and you
transfer or extract soldiers from that force into another force, the charm
travels with the soldiers (but it doesn't speed up other pieces in the new
force).  Want mega-super scouts?  Stick ten soldiers in a force, add a 30-
point charm, then on the following turn you can break them into ten separate
scouting forces, all moving at 60 or so (78 forced-march).  Zoom.
