Any pure gauge lattice theory can be written in terms of plaquette variables with the constraint of the Bianchi identity for each cube. This allows the development of a mean-plaquette approximation. A recently proposed modification of this method is studied. We apply it to a mixed SU(3) gauge model in four dimensions with excellent results compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
