Simple answer - if you have not agreed a set of PBEM rules in advance, anything is fair in love or war. So agree in advance what is "gamey" in your view and see if your prospective opponent agrees to it.
Me, I would simply love an enemy PBEM player who does that sort of thing as it makes targeting my arty assets so much easier... You did buy lots of nice mortars, MRL and such things, if your opponent is a proponent of massed militia (with poor morale) Z-Fires?. Get them running and its game over for them, really.

Yup, that's how it was done IRL as well, lots of artillery and air support, not counter with your own infantry (Korean war may be the best example).
