thanks, Instinct, for chiming in but let's get back to my dumb questions if you don't mind
(you can help answer this if you're still around). and, to the delight of many, i'll make this my last one:
i'll repeat, i don't play multiplayer. i like the mission based strategy, planning, and maneuvering of MoW and MoW:RT but don't like the brute force, kamikaze style of play i'm experiencing in the open beta Multiplayer Skirmish option (2 players, me and the AI). will the single player skirmish mode in the released version of Assault Squad be more like the original MoW/Red Tide or should I NOT buy it because it will just be more of the kamikaze stuff i'm seeing now?
if AS is not for me there's always Vietnam coming up which will probably be more to my liking...only thing is, some guys i knew years ago were killed there so we'll see...
