Can I play the Beta in Single Player?

[Mack the Knife]

you guys seem to be putting up with my stupid questions so let me ask another. i've played MoW and am currently playing/finishing red tide (civ V interrupted me). i was able to try assault squad (thanks to KageToraUK) using the skirmish mode in multiplayer. I AM NOT a multiplayer player. the single player component in the final game is skirmish, you guys think it will be the same gameplay as i'm seeing in the multiplayer skirmish mode? i mean, it sucks! a hail of bullets from the bad guys surrounding a flag while i return that hail of bullets trying to get it? is that all there is to skirmish? right now in red tide i'm using a sniper to pick off the machine gunner in his lookout tower while a couple of my other guys lie hidden picking off the ground troops that come looking for me as a result of my shot. i'm talking strategy, tactics, logistics in red tide while skirmish in assault squad just seems to be kamikaze charges. is that it? is that why it's called assault squad? you guys like that kind of battle? or am i just frickin' wrong about all this?
