Per the Fly/Drive rules on AoR page 245, am I the only one that reads that as saying it takes 2 maneuvers to move from Close to Short range band when going speed 5-6?

Moving between one range band and the next always takes 2 maneuvers unless otherwise stated. Well, moving Close to Short is not stated in the section for speed 5-6. Going from Close to Medium takes 1 maneuver, but Close to Short takes 2? What? Do they overshoot Short and have to come back?

(Accidentally posted this to the Beginner Game section first. Oops)

It's implied that if you can move to medium in one maneuver, you can certainly move to short.

Is that implied?

What other possibility is there that makes any sense?

The lack of coherency in that is why I used a grid movement system, instead. Speed=grids per maneuver. Range 1 = close, 2-4=short, 5-9= medium, 10-16=long

I made this chart to help me make sense of it all. Hope it helps. You compare your current distance with your desired distance and the number is how many Fly or Drive maneuvers it will take to get there.

Thadt should be Maneuvers, not actions...
