Pathing cards being placed infront of unblocked units

Pathing, or unit combat targeting, decides where an unblocked unit will attack during the combat phase.

Summary

At the end of the Deployment Phase, all preexisting unblocked units have their pathing decided by Pathing Cards. A unit has a 50% to attack directly infront them (which usually means that they will attack the tower), a 25% chance to attack the left enemy neighbour and a 25% chance to attack the right enemy neighbour. If a direction is rolled that doesn't have a unit present, the unit will attack forward.

Action Phase

Any new unblocked unit that is played during the Action Phase will have a Pathing Card placed automatically to decide it's attack direction.
