So, another basic question - what's the difference between the speed of a vehicle and the acceleration ratings? I know that the first accel. number is walking rate (move that rate without an action), and the second is running rate (complex action to move that speed), but how do those numbers relate to speed? Or do those acceleration numbers stack from previous turns? Or am I completely off base?
