Let me see if I get this straight:

National Moral represents the base training level of the troops for a particular country.

Fatigue represents...well fatigue, but also seems to represent hits in Moral in the military sense, not game sense. If a Unit retreats, it sufferers a fairly hard fatigue hit, more than just if moved for example.

Experience represents the combat experience of a unit...to a point not too far above National Moral.

If the above is correct, I kind of have an issue with the mixing of fatigue and military moral into one thing, as they are not the same thing. Also, why is there a cap on experience, other than perhaps stopping exp farming and other possible gamy play.

well not sure you are exactly right.

NM - as you say its a baseline training value

Unit morale, tends to NM unless things are happening. Good things are winning battles, bad is losing and/or poor supply. On average 41/42 German units will go well over NM and Soviet units mostly hover just over (once the opening turns are played out).

Fatigue - hits MP/CV. The relation to morale is high morale units pick up less fatigue for what can be seen as routine moves (enemy territory), morale also influences the ability to shed fatigue (I've run a manual search and that is all I can find), so not at all sure why you think fatigue affects morale (all the instances are the other way around)

experience will tend to track unit morale for much the same reasons, if you are winning and in good supply you will pul in replacements much more slowly than a unit getting battered and/or picking up attrition for poor supply

as far as I can remember, these relationships are pretty much the same as in WiTW and WiTE1

You might think of NM as the baseline combat efficiency of the national military system as a whole, covering human capital, training, motivation, efficiency of command and staff systems, lower level doctrinal appropriateness and tactics, and so forth.

That's the baseline NM. As units fight, their individual NM can go up and down representing, amongst other things, actual morale.
