How do you draw if you use Air power token in campaign?

Playing Staraya Russo as the Russians tonight brought up a new rules question.
The bonus for winning the Luga Bridges scenario was a free Air Power token and on the victory roll my opponent rolled two stars, which meant I started with only 3 cards.
In the normal procedure if I played a command card the rule say: Draw two cards per turn until you are back to the number of cards indicated by the scenario.
This rule is ok.
BUT: I used the Air Power token for my first order.
What now?
DO I
1. Draw two cards as the rule say and get back up to the indicated command card hand in ONE turn. This gives the Air Power token an extra bonus.
OR
2. Draw only ONE card since I played the Air Power token and on the next turn draw two cards as per the rule and use two turns to get back up to the correct number of command cards.

I'm not sure on this, but I don't think you would get to draw any cards!
The reason I think this, is because (if I remember right), the Air Power Token is played just like an Air Sortie card. If you had an Air Sortie card, you wouldn't get to draw anything since you didn't use a card from your hand. So in this case you would still have the same number of cards and wouldn't start replenishing you hand until the next turn when you actually play a card from your hand.

i have a different opinion, after playing Air Sortie token, you will draw 2 cards because playing Air Sortie indicates you have played your turn, therefore the rule of "draw 2 cards until your hand replenished" will be activated, but still waiting an official response as usual

I can see your point, but you never get to draw cards after playing an Air Sortie card. It doesn't matter that it's your "turn" for drawing cards. Otherwise after playing an Air Sortie card in a normal game you would draw a card and end up with too many.
Just because you're low on cards doesn't mean the Air Sortie card rules are changed. In this case, you might not want to use the Air Sortie token because you won't get any cards.

Thanks for the answers guys, but I don't think we will get an agreement here before brummbär or some DOW folks give an answer.
To Jesse. We played withour air rules so the token was an AIR POWER token. Do you think that make it different?
To Nem. I managed to win the scenario 5-4 after taking two of the objective towns. The cavalry unit in the left section attacked the town in the left section but came under heavy german fire, but a timely retreat ensured he stayed alive.
