Samsonov's Army Devolved to a Shitty Walk

Samsonov noticed a large buildup of Germans on his left flank by this point. He thought about stopping his advance to face them, but there is no real way in order for him to do so. One unit he sent was so far away that they had no chance to reach the left flank on time. The two cavalry divisions he ordered to respond couldn't even be located. On top of being fresh conscripts with no history of campaigning, people were dropping like flies. That's always a good sign. Well, it portends a whole lot of surrendering Russians very soon.
