We present first results from a numerical investigation of a Z3 symmetric model based on dimensional reduction. 1. The Model In this note we will describe some of the properties of a Z3 symmetric generalization of dimensional reduction, applied to SU(3) gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimension. The motivation is to construct an effective action, which is constrained by perturbative dimensional reduction at high temperature, but which can be applied all the way down to the confinement phase transition. The partition function is defined as follows:
