THX for ... tending in my direction.Any Russian forces used in a serious attempt to hold Warsaw or defend Vistula are vulnerable to being encircled in an eastern option. In truth, it may be more probable than the scenario I provided above, but would likely be even worse for the Russians...
... maybe it shouldn' be forgotton, that when this happens there happens also the defeat of austrian 4th, 3rd and what was brought-in at that monent of 2nd army in southern Galicia and around Lemberg, leaving the A-H troops running westwards as fast as they could.So ideally for the germans they crush russian 1st and 2nd armies and encircle russian 4th and maybe even 5th armies. Were would this leave Russia?
