Good AAR, looking forward to the next episode

[22sec]

A smokescreen is placed along the eastern edge of Dorten to obscure the area where the regiment's second echelon was assembling after moving along the narrow forest roads. (It would not be sufficient enough, and British artillery would shortly after begin crashing down on the Soviet tanks forcing the assault to commence early.)

[22sec]

Two destroyed Soviet T-80's can be seen in the field east of Dorten, victims of British artillery.
