I am probably missing something incredibly simple here, but...I keep reading in these forums about the overlord "turning monsters sideways" to block hero movement. I understand the strategy of putting your monsters in a hallway to block the hallway, but I have no idea what that has to do with "turning monsters sideways". Most monsters are 1x1 or 2x2 spaces, so since they are square they take up the same spaces no matter how you rotate them. The only non-square monster I am aware of is the 2x3 monsters (shadow dragon, are there others?) and on those, you don't want to turn them "sideways", you want to turn them with the short end facing the heroes so it can fit in the hallway.
What am I missing here?
