A number of options were put forth for comment: going on the offensive immediately with the forces at hand, delaying the offensive further to await the arrival of new and better tanks, radically revising the operation or cancelling it altogether.
En række muligheder blev fremlagt: Gå i offensiven straks med de kræfter, der var til rådighed, forsinke offensiven yderligere og afvente ankomsten af ny og bedre udrustning, radikalt revidere planerne eller helt annullere offensiven.
