If an Artillery unit suffers a 'crew killed' result due to enemy fire, does that unit return re-crewed in the next phase of the campaign? (like captured artillery does at present)

If I use a friendly Infantry unit to re-crew a Battery, do the men used to re-crew count as 'losses'? or will I get them back for the next phase of the campaign.

I believe, but have not verified fully, that if you are using the Capture rule only guns killed by counterbattery fire are correctly reduced and carried over to the next game in a campaign. I no captured guns return full strength in a campaign and I am relatively sure that guns abandoned due to crew kill are treated like captured guns (which ever side is sitting on them claims them for VP purposes).

From what I have so far seen of Artillery Leaders I prefer getting the dog back.[:D]

So what about the Infantry used to re-crew a battery during a game? do these men count as 'losses'? It seems pointless using up 150 men to re-crew a 6 gun battery (only to 'F' quality anyway) that would reappear in the next scenario of the campaign anyway. The men aren't casualties and should come back to the Regiment...unless they're Marines, in which case I would look for them in the nearest bar.
