SAS FENCES

Cul-de-sac with 2 piece-moves/turn, and L-shaped walls allowed. Each player has one grenade, which may be played at the start of a turn to blast an unfillable hole in any unit of wall; and this uses the placement power for that turn.

Here is a match where the South player (ie, which must go to the north edge) was forced to close himself.

In this position, South only route of escape is between Ii and Li, since everything else has double walls and he has only one grenade.
