A new improved action is introduced by adding a 2X2 plaquette to the Symanzik action. Completing a square leads to a covariant propagator that simplifies perturbative calculations. Data is presented on lattices of size 4**3X128, with lattice spacings of approximately 0.02 and 0.12 fermi. For the latter case no further improvement as compared to the tree-level action was observed when including the Lepage-Mackenzie tadpole correction to the one-loop improved Luscher-Weisz Symanzik action.12 pages, including 2 tables and 2 figures, latexHigh Energy Physics - LatticeA Monte Carlo study of old, new and tadpole improved actionstext
