If you ever wanted to know how some of the weird inconsistencies of 1e/2e D&D combat came about, this analysis of the Chainmail "Man to Man" weapon vs armor matrix is interesting!
I continue to enjoy the more abstract Troop Type combat for most situations, but in a duel or a meeting of higher level characters vs. monster/NPC, Man to Man is an option!
