Should you finish a scenario early?

I am playing the Belgium scenario. I won it well before the 35th turn. Should I have dragged it out to rack up the resource points? Or are you credited them by finishing sooner?

Dont drag it out, you'll get your money.

Here are some notes that I took the last time this question came up:

Resource Points Formula

Opening RP's for this scenario + (RP's per turn x number of turns) - RP's used during scenario + RP's earned or given during scenario + Opening RP's for next scenario = Total RP's to begin next scenario

This part of the formula is the same whether you win early or play the scenario out to the end and still win: (RP's per turn x number of turns)

So, there is no benefit to prolonging a scenario because you don't get any more resource points by doing so.

Two potential downsides to ending a scenario early are lost opportunities to earn experience for your core units and special rewards for completing secondary objectives.
