>If I understand OD&D correctly, a fighting man attacks as a Hero beginning at level 4 and a Super Hero beginning at level 8, meaning 4 attacks against "normal men" power enemies at level 4 and 8 at level 8. that right?
Just checking: Did you miss what happens at the other levels? E.g. he already attacks as Hero-1 at 3rd level, getting 3 attacks against creatures with 1 HD or less. Picrel.
>If that's the case, why does the fighting man not attack that many times against more powerful enemies too?
The rule is from chainmail, which has three types of combat: The standard system, for when one attacks "normal units", fantasy combat for and against monsters (like ogres, trolls, and dragons), and "man-to-man" combat when attacking non-fantasy individuals who are stronger than "normal units".
In chainmail, the bonus is being able to do any damage at all against fantasy monsters. Also allowing multiple attacks would be double counting.
So if you want to figure out what all this means, you should check out Chainmail.
