It's a board game made into a computer game, that was released without an AI, which is still being worked on, that will arrive later. So, if you buy it, your choices are play it against yourself (as if it was a board game, which is really what it is), or vs other humans via the internet or a lan too of course, or just all crowed around a single machine. The computer program can be had in mere minutes, the books though will be coming through the mail. But as the manuals exist as pdf files in the game install, you can always read those as well. Not the same as reading a book naturally. But oh so much nicer than the paper manuals (which I also have). All the convenience of having the real physical board game, none of the space problems, no cat troubles, no dust covering layer and a unified rules set. As for expensive, well the current board game is not cheap, but then neither is ASL, or the current evolved form of Third Reich, or Warhammer, or oodles of role games. And if you own all of War in the Pacific and War in the East and soon to be War in the West, well those are hardly free, and don't even have the books.
