Isn't campaign sort of a skirmish? You will be able to play the demo mission and to get an overview in which direction the game is heading.

Yeah sure I will test it, but I mean a mode like the destruction or capture the point mode like in the wargame series on different maps where you can choose your deck and faction to fight against the ai (custom matches) not against other player :).
A Campaign is most scripted part?!

Definitely the developers make the same mistakes as the developers CoH2. A bunch of bad infantry and equipment will lose in 90% of cases to just good infantry and equipment. Rare breakthroughs of individual groups to the rear will not pay for the large losses of cannon fodder. Subsequently, the enemy will build up strength and already 100% dominate the crowd of cannon fodder in cans. But the worst thing about this "specialization", if this shame can be called that, is the need for a huge level of play and micromanagement on the part of the player. It is very difficult to effectively manage such a number of units. Despite the fact that they are much weaker than enemy units, that is, they will not be able to destroy targets on their own. With that, you need to correctly distribute forces. Despite the fact that this doctrine does not have mobile infantry with PTRS. Very disappointed in the game!

I sometimes use this kind of deck in WG:RD, I feel like the idea of trying to get the occasional breakthrough is kind of pointless and micromanaging units when you have so many is nearly impossible. What you need to do to succeed is to overwhelm your opponent with a mass of cheap infantry in a similar manner to a zerg rush. Cheap vehicles don't last that long and lack firepower, so use the cheap ones to draw fire, and have medium cost ones sit a bit further back and fire on the enemy from a concealed position.
As this game lets you mix 2 specializations for each battlegroup, you will also have access to good infantry and equipment. You should regard most of the units from the motostrelki specialization as meatshields for your other specialization.
