Sure. There are a solid 12 blue dots that show troop positions that have plausible ways out of Dodge. The two solo blue dots farthest to the north, the solo blue dot farthest to the east, and the blue dot farthest to the south look suicidal. Eight more blue dots to the east of the red dotted line in in the eastern part of the city look to be in major trouble. Three more blue dots in the northwestern corner also look to have limited escape routes.
The question in my mind is whether these dots have a strong relationship to the quantity of troops. If the marooned blue dots are a couple of stray soldiers setting signal fires because they're lost, then my concern is overblown. But if those blue dots surrounded by red represent significant numbers of troops, then it seems like we're about to see some POWs or some higher casualty rates.
