Orcslayer makes a very nice intro to GURPS tactical combat, because it links several different sorts of tactical (and travel) situations in an adventure context where what happens in one situation impacts the next. And because it is pretty simple and bare-bones so new players can focus on learning and the situation.

And it has some nice castle maps and a couple of scenarios that use them.

If it were converted to TFT, it would mean getting nice castle maps for TFT, as well as some improved travel/supply rules (for a desert crossing), rules for shooting up/down at/from arrow slits, battering ram rules, and a nice monster.

Someone who appreciated what Orcslayer offers could of course also just write a new TFT adventure that offers similar things.
