I could be wrong

The battle was a delay, so I had all the victory hexes at the start. As for the enemy HQ unit, since it was a delay all I had to do was hold out. Running out and hunting for the HQ unit wasn't really an practical option. I've learned not to run into a wall of burning vehicles and smoke as there may be some pinned, but otherwise very alive infantry units in there.

The AI does get a small wave of reinforcements during the course of a battle and it won't end until those show up and get killed. Shortly after I started the thread, I saw the reinforcements moving across the map. They didn't last long and the battle ended after I destroyed them. The AI ended up with 147 dead "tanks", but that included armored cars. I think my battalion was hit by a full regiment.
