I think that clears it up for me.
Sliding sideways the shortest distance sounds correct.
I question the consistency of the rules in requiring movement allowance having to be used, but agree that is the correct interpretation.
I think the most important point in the rules is the first sentence in the "Moving into Contact with enemy" section:
"The general principle is that troops that would contact in real life do so in the game so that moving a front edge into contact with enemy always results in combat."
I'm not sure that some of the details always live up to that principle.
