Oh. I didn't consider this other rule
. This rule would invalidate almost all strategies blocking the defenses with boulders.
But in very few situations, it could be possible to place a boulder to "block" the defense without making it harder. For example, a ball behind the sally port in the outerworks imo does not "amplify" the challenge of driving across the flat part of the sally port.
I would like to Q&A this, but I cannot.
