I've done rotations using the sides of the hex base as guides for
ages, but don't stick to 30 degree movement. As Corey does, I'll
face any direction I want. No-one's ever complained.

It never even occurred to me that movement might be restricted
to 12 directions until it was pointed out to me on this list a
year or so ago.
