In this image you can see some little flag poles with a Russian flag (I'm playing Central Powers). There is one in "Rzin" (the region just south of Ivangorod) that has a 5 in a gold circle, then below that a Russian flag, then below that some arrows pointing in two directions that are no longer gold, their gray.
I'm guessing this is telling me something about having cut off Russian supply to the Armies that are down by Posen?
