-But wait, you can't. "Armies may attempt to destroy Improvements... /by 
attacking them./" Attacks have to be from adjacent squares, unless it's an 
Elf army. I'll concur that there probably should be a limit on times per 
nweek.-

-Yes. It's simpler than keeping track of unpowered items - how do you decide 
which improvments are powered and which aren't? The moral of the story is, 
if you're defending, to cover your plants well, and if you're attacking, to 
go for the plants with everything. It's that nifty strategy stuff.-

-If you really can't figure "Targets" out, I'll define it... and as for the 
100 shots: That says they can fire 100 times per nweek, "no more than once 
per target per nweek." So if 100 armies come in, sure, go nuts. If 2 come 
in, you can't hit them 50 times each because of that limitation.-
