5.4: Limits to Melee Troops

Since there is a practical limit to how many combatants can attack a single defender, the number of melee attacks for a side is limited to a maximum of four times the number of defenders. For example, if a force of 120 men attacks a force of 20 men, the larger force will get only 80 attacks in each melee phase.
