For every eight weeks a noble spends practicing Extra Melee Attacks, he receives one extra attack in each melee phase of combat. For example, a hero who had practiced Extra Melee Attacks for 27 weeks would receive four attacks in each melee phase.
The hero may only use extra attacks when he is alone. If he has any other men or fighting beasts in his inventory (even if they are not involved in the battle or have been killed in earlier combat rounds) he cannot concentrate on using extra attacks. However, he is permitted to be stacked with other nobles.
Note that the hero receives his attacks only if he is selected to perform an attack. If, for example, the attacking force greatly outnumbers the defending force, then only some attackers will receive chances to attack.
