There is a set of house-rules somewhere which (from my perspective)
makes MUCH more sense than the current DS artillery rules. In it, for an
open sheaf, you essentially can do the standard rectangle, or an
L-shape, or a box, or anything else (essentially, an open sheaf gives
you N 2"-radius circles which must be adjacent to each other). Whoever
came up with that house rule, please let me know (I've been looking for
it).
