It's E'A, by David Fitzgerald.
Supplement of new rules written in 1980 (48 pages), for combat and movement,with new character classes,spells, monsters, gods, and tables for parries, fumbles and critical hits.
Recently a copy on ebay popped up, for 200 dollars or something like that, and it disappeared in a few days, "stolen" by some crazy collector at Acaeum. Crazy in the positive sense, had i had the money at the time, i'd have grabbed that. I don't know now if i'll ever peruse those alternative rules.
Together with "Proportional combat system", it's the rarest of the rares.
About PCS, i only know that "character with a substantially shorter weapon may not attack until the longer weapon wielder has failed on a to-hit roll. if fighting more than one opponent it applies only to one of the opponents".

Interesting, I was certainly not aware of this one.
E'A rates pretty high on the gonzo scale: like Arduin, there's /some/ useable material in there. Beware the Duncans!
Not sure 'bout the "Proportional combat system" being the rarest of rares: it may be, but being relatively late means there's a better chance of copies turning up. It is rather less obscure than the MLOK-3 Combat System for OD&D (from 1978), for one similar example.
I never heard about MLOK-3 Combat System for OD&D, what is that?
I would be happy to expand my knowledge :)
