The rule book is contradictory on this, but the word from GSI is:  You can
still move 12 points normal and 14 points forced march, but you must count each
hex cost at 4/3 of its normal value, rounded up.  Thus for cav, a road hex
costs 2, cav in a forest off-road costs 7, etc.  For evasive, double the final
cost of each hex.
