The reason I'm thinking about combat rules now, happens to be these fine posts by a Paladin from Calgary.
I just looked back a bit at what have been written about what can be done in combat, and happened to find a few favourites.
Trollsmyth wrote about judging old school encounters.
Way back I wrote about dirty tricks in combat. Maybe worth visiting for those who haven't seen that one.
I felt like brings some good stuff to light once more. Yeah, I even dig my own contribution.
