Changing Direction while moving Forward

A unit can move straight ahead, or at an angle of up to 45 degrees to either side of the direction it is facing, without paying any special movement costs. However, when a unit makes this sort of angling movement, none of the figures are allowed to change their direction, or facing, as a result of the move.

Often a player will want to maneuver a unit through a sharper turn, or to adjust the unit so that its front rank is pointed in a different direction, in which case it is necessary for the figures to pivot in addition to moving from one location to another. A unit has several ways to change the direction faced by its figures. Each change of direction costs part of a unit's movement allowance.
