It orders every unit adjacent to an enemy when played, including cavalry and other mounted units, with two extra dice for the attacker. Ordered units do not move before close combat and may not use ranged combat that turn, even if they normally could. Units can momentum advance after a win but bonus combats use normal dice. The bonus dice go only to the player who played the card, so a defender battling back rolls normally.
