This thread is to discuss, and bring up examples, of absolutely brilliant and suprising moves in history, that went against what was expected at the time, and changed the course of history, and may have turned the situation on it's head. Here are some of my examples:
Cambyses II painting cats on his troops' shields.
Alexander the Great building a land bridge to Tyre.
Much of Hannibal's career
I'd list more but I have to leave.
