AD&D combat, as written, can seem weirdly complex, with "segments", "weapon speed" and other strange bits. When I dug into it, I found that it was more about presentation than actual system! Not terribly complex at all!

Here's the cheat sheet from my 2019 podcast on AD&D combat - maybe it will help you?

@chgowiz thanks for sharing! This will be super useful for our upcoming #osr weekend in March. Plan is to retreat to a holiday flat in the Harz mountains with some friends and play #Adnd1E and #ClassicTraveller
I usually more of a B/X-Person and prefer streamlined modern osr hacks (not a big fan of Gary‘s prose either), but I’m really curious to revisit the „advanced“ version of the game.
