If, in certain scenarios, the detachment is kept off table "in reserve"
its arrival is governed by a die roll applied to a table cross
referencing the detachments reserve speed. Put simply, the quicker the
detachment, the more likely it is to arrive early in the game.

In certain scenarios, morale is important. The army receives a
reduction in its morale level when a unit is first reduced to half
strength.

No. Rather the number of points it is worth to keep the unit intact.
See above, and pgs 9-11 in the battles book.

I think all of the above details are sort of dealt with in the battles
book, but not very well. theres a bit more in WD208-209.
