Interesting because the amount of players in MoW:AS closed beta have been the highest of all time in the last couple of weeks. Anyway, It'd be helpful and less confusing for other people if you create feedback to the actual open beta and not something you played over 2 months ago. There is a closed beta section for this.

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...

Not sure what you mean with kamikaze style, but the difficulty you set also sets the amount of troops. So on easy you should have a pretty fair and less demanding gameplay with a lot less units.
However, the skirmish is the core feature of Assault Squad and comes with 16 missions for 5 nations and are similar to the ones you see now. As this is a beta there will be changes for the release version for sure but not drastic ones.

After the release you will most likely have the chance to obtain more skirmishes via DLC that feature different sort of gameplays.

Mack, I guess I don't need to tell you that Skirmish plays differently from Missions. If I were you I would save money for Vietnam for the meantime, however I am pretty sure there will be plenty of mods for AS, and among them there surely will be some missions, so you might consider buying it for them.

In Skirmish it is also possible to plan and try different tactics but there is a problem coz AI always does the same thing and relentlessly puts pressure on you. So first you need to learn how to effectively repel AI attacks before planning your advance.
