Sir Alric question

Recently when I encountered Sir Alric his action tree each turn was always the same. It was (paraphrasing)

Use Overpower on furthest hero
Use Overpower on furthest hero
Attack

So, my question would be, why would it have the same exact use Overpower line twice?

It doesn't get exhausted, so he can reuse it, right? Assuming that's correct, it seemed really odd that he just bounced around moving people and only doing 1 fatigue, never attacking.

It makes sense if you read all of the instructions:


ALRIC_INFO,"Overrun: When instructed to use ""Overrun,"" engage the target. While using ""Overrun,"" each time Sir Alric Farrow enters a space adjacent to a hero who is an equal distance or closer to the target space, that hero tests ∂. If he fails, both figures switch spaces and the hero suffers 1 ∏. Then Sir Alric Farrow continues his movement. If Sir Alric Farrow enters a space adjacent to the engaged hero, that hero does not test ∂."
ALRIC_6_EFFECT,Each hero who tests ∂ and fails during this activation suffers ≥ equal to his ∂.
ALRIC_6_0,"в€ћ Use ""Overrun"" to engage the farthest hero.
в€ћ Use ""Overrun"" to engage the farthest hero.
в€ћ Attack a hero."

Note that this is one of 6 possible activations.
