20   Counterstrike at Orel , #18 , Brilliant Victory  +++  Proto: Fw 190A-8
This was a fun scenario, imo!
At first I thought I would have to reload and start over, but as it turned out, I held on in the end and ended up with a BV -2. They key to BV was crossing the river in the north and attacking along both embankments of the river, while maintaining a strong left flank with my tanks. 
It was a nice touch also with the mired down T-34s in the swamp that you could "capture" for your own.
My tanks are starting to suffer a bit with the onslaught of T-34/43s and KV-1s, and I shall have to find a way to upgrade them. I might sell off a fighter to get pp for that, since I keep getting these nice protos for my airforce which is huge by now. Especially for a high cost e-file like AK!  

 But I also need more arty...
