Jason,

It does work in 1.18. I've done it in a few games just to make sure.
(No, I did not do it to win, just to test). I told my opponent to check
out near his power plant (which I could see, but it works in any area
of the map that the building can it) and dropped a row of sandbags
there.  Believe me, it works. Be sure to tell your opponents you know
about it and agree either agree that it cannot be used or start placing
guard towers or other offensive buildings in his area.  He'll soon
agree not to use the trick.
