House Rules for RTK2, scenario 1.

I get to play this game once or twice a year with an old buddy, but we get a bit frustrated by the poor ai. These are some things that I've been thinking of to give us more of a challenge. I can't really say that it'll be a great experience, but it's a start. Feel free to provide feedback and share any self-imposed rules that you've used in the past. I have a feeling the formatting will get messed up, will try to make it look readable.
