Enemy information

How accurate is the tooltip information provided on enemy formation strengths?
After several hard fought battles, I have noticed when I hover the tooltip over the enemy formation, I will see full strength power for their formations. It is as if the enemy didn't even fight a battle. Yet I know it was a hard fought battle leaving my troops with low cohesion and losses but the rebs are back at full strength immediately after the battle.
If I see a regiment with a strength of 21/45 or a brigade at 270/270, I assume the intelligence is fairly accurate. I just had a big battle at Bowling Green and yet I see the very same reb formation at 270/270 at the beginning of the next turn. I have seen this type of quick recovery information after a number of battles in different PBEMs.
How can reb armies achieve such quick recovery from battle which I know my union armies are incapable of achieving. Do the reb armies have very quick reinforcement and cohesion recovery beyond the capability of Union armies. Or am I misunderstanding the information.
So how accurate is tooltip information on enemy armies?? Are certain factors being left out in the depiction which gives an inaccurate reflection of the real strength of enemy formations? What is happening here that I don't understand?
