I think that indeed it was Gandalf whose strategy brought about victory.

The strategy that I believe brought victory was demonstrated at the bridge when he sacrificed his life (and victory by his own hand). The plan of the Valar had failed.

By sacrificing himself at the bridge, Gandalf signified this defeat, putting the hope for final victory in the hands of Eru himself.
