The following batch of articles represent a growing interest in modifying the current version of the TCS rules (2nd Edition plus the addenda in Omaha and printed here in the last issue.) These modifications address issues both real and merely perceived. As opposed to taking the comments I get and eventually making a decision pertaining to their viability for series change (basically if a change is warranted ... ), I am bringing out the most frequent comments for your examination. No such comment is valid without a viable alternative presented in which the critic can suggest a method of change which not only addresses the perceived "problem" but also does not engender further problems of its own.
As we are now entering a down period in TCS production (the next release isn't until 1993) and at that time the rulebook will need to be re-printed, we are in a perfect period to examine the system and see if any constructive changes are needed. If you have any thoughts or comments regarding what is presented here, other issues not yet addressed, or comments on what not to change, be sure to write and comment. By all means set up small scenarios from any of the existing games and test these ideas to see if they are to your liking...
