You can still buy it.
They have had trouble keeping it in stock.
There is no doubt that it is a challenging game, and it models most the complexitites of running the SW Pacific campaign in terms of combat froces and logsitics.
As a result, it is tough to learn (A steep learning curve). It is unavoidable as a newbie to the game to avoid mistakes. Anybody who plays it has some good stories about these mistakes.
But there is nothing like a good UV PBEM campaign. I have been playing steady for almost a year, and with no sign of letting up.
It is addictive, and really gives you the fell you are running the campaign in the SWPAC. Yea, you have to pay attention to supply, fuel, Ship system damage whcih accumulates over time, air unit fatigue and morale, engineers and base support units, and other details.
The detail gives it both the flavor and appeal, as well as the comlexity.
Kind of like EU1 when your country gets so big that you would forget about a naval force and have it die off due to attrition, except the map is not that big. UV is turn based, so when you get a good "rythym" or process for doing turns, you miss less ansd less details as you play.
If you want to immerse yourself, read some of the AARs and make your determinations.
If you dislike detials, pass UV up.
If not, you won't regret it!
