Only the devs can confirm if the time base of the combat has any affect on the time base of the campaign. My guess would be no and I cannot imagine considering the perhaps 1000/1 time base of the map, why it would be meaningful to the player or the game to do so.
Why would it matter if you defeated or lost to the enemy in a 3D scenario in 15, 30, 60 minutes or two hours when days go by in minutes in the campaign map? If the time base in 3D represented time also spent in the 2D map, the impact of an engagement hours long would be inconsequential. Forces leaving Arkhanglsk would not even make it into the White Sea before your scenario ended. Tank battles in WWII would last many hours or days and even given the increased lethal of the '80s time period, a tank battle within a sub battle time frame would only be one engagement in a decisive engagement perhaps lasting days.
Unless informed otherwise, it's my assumption the actual time spent in 3D is not counted and only the results matter.
