Lt. Boyd,
Good questions. I believe General Walter has answered them very well, with the exception of #2 (What happens to fatigue? Does fatigue return to zero at the next battle?). My experience has been, "It depends". I won a hard-fought battle at Corinth, but all those units started the next scenario at high fatigue levels. In another campaign, I won much more handily at Corinth and my units were all back to zero fatigue at the next battle.
It may have to do, then, with just how fatigued your units are during the battle. It may however, simply be as General Walter stated: It is scenario-dependent. I selected the same tactical options both times, but I don't know what options my opponents selected. It may be that the first one chose an option that didn't allow either army to rest, whereas the second one selected an option that brought us to the same map but more rested.
I also thought leader casualties carried over from one campaign battle to the next, but I can't say for sure about this. Supply wagons are entirely replenished in each battle, though. Since they don't count toward victory points you may want to avoid going after supply wagons unless you are really desperate for more ammo in that battle. Likewise, artillery ammo is reset.
Your humble servant,
LGen 'Dee Dubya' Mallory
