I played it like this:

-Diagonal moves cost 1.5. Round up fractions at the end of your move (i.e., if you move 3 diagonal squares, you pay 5 mp; if you move 1 diagonal square, you pay 2 mp).
-You face the side of a square. (I don't necessarily have a problem with facing diagonally; it just never really came up).
-Only one foe can strike from the rear (the attacker chooses).

Here's the diagram (the figure is the plus sign):


FFF
S+S
RRR


-Pole attacks extend to 2 squares. If you want to get fussy (I didn't) you can provide that pole attacks cannot be made into 2 diagonal squares. Diagram of the first option:


YYYYY

Diagram of the second option:


*YYY*
YYYYY
**+**
*****
*****


Y - Allowable attack.
* - Not allowed.
+ - Figure armed with polearm (top of page is front)

-If you think pole attacks are too flexible in TFT, you provide that pole attacks can only be made into the three front squares and the squares immediately behind them:


*YYY*
