I could work on a ruff layout if I had a list of things we wanted to include
on the layout.
I have a bunch of green, brown, and extra NELUG gray bricks that I can use
for this event. Plus I can use some of the gorge sections.

So what is really wrong with this concept? If Shaun made an army of
servants and one warrior, I could keep him stuck in one place for the entire
game by using an SP power.

We could also make the weapons themselves have an AV level allowing them to
be targeted and destroyed.

Forgot one. Dave's Panzer destroying Jon's entire squad in one turn.

I would say an AV and or an SP greater than some number. That way Shaun
could have his troops give up there weapons to one warrior. That warrior
would then convert to hit points for the rest of the game.
Now with the hit points, do we want to prevent the use of healing elixer?
