Cannae was a well planned encirclement from the outset, as were most of Hannibals battles in Italy. using the weaker center to draw in the bludgeon of the roman heavy infantry, the heavy troops on the wings of hannibals army flanking the legions, then the relurning calvary hammering in from the rear! A real meat grinder.
I think Alexander used calvary movement to blur his dispositions from the persians, if that counts any, possibly at Guagamela?

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
