I’m trying to demonstrate the impact of a reduced resource on the planned duration of an activity.
The scenario is: an activity was planned to take say 10 hours using 10 men on site (100 man hours) This is the baseline planned duration. In the actual circumstances, only 5 men were allowed on site, so the work takes 20 hours. I want to show this not only in the gantt chart, thus demonstrating the cumulative affect on successor activities, again with less than planned resources but also in the resource histogram. I want to show a resource distribution with the planned and actual either side by side or in total as a stacked bar chart.
Any suggestions?

That is easy. Create your baseline first using the 100hrs for 10 men. Use fixed/unit duration type so when adjusting time/unit it will automatically adjust the duration).
Then Maintain baseline and assigned as Project Baseline.
Adjust the schedule using 5men for 100hrs. See sample below:
