Yes, I know that you could set this up with the regular battleplan orders, but a shortcut would be pretty cool. Maybe make it a zone plan? (I still use timeline because the new system is kinda weird, but still, pincer attack is a pretty cool order)

An explicit pincer attack order would be fun! But as you say, you can accomplish this with: Encicle order, a regimental plan using zones, adjusting areas by right-click dragging, etc.

I do agree that a simple encircle order would be similar, but the pincer attack is supposed to be more aggressive, and so it'd be more like split, double breakthrough, and then encircle, all grouped up into one pincer attack order.
