AoA is skipped in the above. Meaning movement at best is diagonally forward (sidestep into front hex) for 2 points each hex. You can't turn to face the hex.

AOA allows only forward movement, correct. However, GURPS defines forward movement as "A "forward" move is a move into one of your front hexes. If you go straight ahead, your facing will not change; otherwise it will change by one hex-side: you must turn to gace the hex as you enter it. Thus you can change direction while moving "forward".
Check out the diagram at the bottom of page 386; this a legal movement for AOA.
