What does Mounted Charge order, and what if I have no mounted units?
The card text and mounted unit list say this; forum replies agree on the edge cases.

It orders mounted units up to your Command: cavalry, camels, chariots and elephants. They get one extra die in close combat (including bonus combat), and heavy ones may move three hexes and still battle. The extra die applies only when attacking, not on battle back. If you have no mounted units the card just orders one unit of your choice, with no bonus die. Against an evading target the extra die can only hit on the evader's own symbol.
