I am, by nature, a very cautious commander so I can see why you have a problem with scenarios ending too early. Many times I have had to hold back from that final victory hex because I have spent one or two extra turns advancing cautiously to avoid undue casualties.

My solution? I almost exclusively play campaigns now. Yes, I still get penalized for not advancing as far as I might have had I been reckless, but by keeping my force intact I have the greater benefit of a superior force in the next battle. There is still the requirement to get a victory but I put more value on a healthy, intact core force than a few extra campaign points.
