Since the blockades happen after attacks, your offensive stacks can freely move around without hitting any unexpected blockades.

	The blockade card is a little more difficult to use than the ~~abandon~~ card. When playing a blockade card, it's very important to ensure you still own the territory you're blockading at the end of your turn. If you lose the territory you played the card on, the card will have no effect and you don't get the card back. Therefore, it's recommended that you play this on territories that you know you won't lose, such as those that don't touch an opponent or that are sufficiently defended.
