Well, at the start of combat it is legal to declare that you're operating at a lower Basic Speed (Kromm acknowledged that earlier in the thread), but then your Speed is fixed for the full combat! You may not change it again...
(Although possibly you could change later with taking a 1 round do-nothing-maneuver adapting to the combat rhythm, if you allow that house rule, but it's not RAW).

The secenario you're describing is exactly one of the abusive cases (2 turns in a row) why instantly changing speed during combat is not allowed.
