Men of War is another one of those titles that I like to call a 'silent stunner'. It didn't make many waves, and probably went relatively unnoticed by more mainstream audiences (strategy games not part of blockbuster series generally do). It's realistic approach to combat, its focus on action orientated game play (as opposed to the tried and tired base building of old) made it shine as bright as any AAA release. Without a doubt, it was one of the best World War II strategy title since Company of Heroes, and now it's about to get a whole lot better. [...]

Forgive us if we seem to be foaming at the mouth - we honestly haven't been this excited about a game in while.

That link doesn't work.

I am a little lost about one thing, will there be SP missions or only skirmish and MP?

Thanks, and now I have the answer to my question.

With Assault Squad, we're taking the co-op that was available in Men of War to the next level: people can now play together against the AI through fifteen different missions, that are all challenging. They're all roughly at the same skill-level, but the player can actually decide how difficult they want it to be. In the original campaign, only the last couple of missions are really interesting, with the early missions acting more like a tutorial. We wanted to address this and bring in a more competitive and streamlined online gameplay experience...

...No there won't be another single-player campaign in that sense. We're including this skirmish mode with its fifteen missions, but we've also completely revised multiplayer. All of the existing game modes have been re-done, almost from scratch. We've been listening to our community and trying to make game play more fast paced and easier to control and easier to understand.
