To my mind, the game was originally designed for SP missions. It is like Commandos but on a larger scale and with a focus on battle tactics. However, MP had become very popular and Assault Squad provides new content (maps, units) and attempts to improve it.
I really enjoy a good mission. It is more relaxing and allows you to spend some time thinking and planning. Skirmish is not like that. It won’t let you rest for a second. AI relentlessly pushes on. And things you mentioned about ammo and damage might become an issue to many players, not only the new ones.
As far as MP micromanagement is concerned, it is not very easy. The best way to enjoy it is to play with your friends or people who play at the same level as you. For me, 1 in 5 random battles is enjoyable.
