Roadblock Removal

RE: Roadblock Removal
Ha Ha...that is funny that you said that POS. That is exactly what I just did to an opponent. I used 32 Roadblocks (480 pts out of my 2000) to create a barrier. I was being generous though. I did leave a small gap (It had four AT mines in it and a TRP). Now that you are all thinking that I am being totally "gamey" let me tell you the rest of the story.
It was an 2000 point Allied assault (North)with a +10% handicap, CMBB, Combined Arms, July 42, variable rarity, 40+ turns. This gives the Russians 1386 points worth of armor. The Germans, a whopping 214 points. So basically, I needed to take the Russian Tanks out of the fight to even have a prayer. This still leaves the Russians with over 2000 points and had me down to about 1400, after the trenches, AT mines etc. In my opinion, this made it a more fair fight.
End state was that the Russians were stopped at the Gap. They had not brought any engineers and didn't want to try to force the gap. They had a T-34 immobilized in it and called it quits. They could have used massive area fire on it and then tried to push through, but didn't. They gave up and surrendered, (I would have given a CF).
What do you all think?
If you had to characterize my use of Roadblocks how would you rate it:
A: Gamey, come on you loser play fair.
B: A legitimate tactic which gave the beleagured German defenders a chance.
C: An expertly crafted masterpeice of planning and execution which resulted in an inevitable German Total Victory! Sheer Genius!
