The campaign scenario I am talking about is Smolensk 41

In my recent game I was able to use my tanks plus fast mechanic infantry and I punched a hole in the Russians defense. But with only 12 turns to go and needing 4 more objectives to win what should I have done?

What I chose to do was encircle and kill off the Russian army, however my AI opponent was able to fortify his objective with reinforcement and I only manage to get 2 of the 4 objectives needed for a win. In the end I got a draw

By the way I also send out 3 fast units the cut off railway and bridges, the ai was hurting bad on supply!

Should I instead not kill his army and just keep pushing with half of my breakthrough army? but if I do that my man will be overextended and under supplied!

Should I instead not kill his army and just kept pushing with half of my tank and mechanized infantry? but those troops with be to far extended.

IMHO you should start the 'Road to Moscow' series from Rob 'Hawkeye' Kurz; much more improved and playtested.

Give Rob's series a try... they are challenging.
