I agree with Thomas here.  Roads can be controlled / blocked by a unit 
alright.  And then an attack along the road doesn't cost you 1/3, but a 
full move, so road is ignored.  Roads can be attacked?  Well, 
counterattack if you want.  Roads can be explosives-trapped?  I think it 
is adequately emulated by the pillage.
