To the best of my knowledge the whole legal issue revolved around the fact that Ubi used copy-written names for aerocraft that Grumman owned...when they (Ubi) where marketing the Pacific theater game. Maybe some with the legal knowledge could enlighten us?
That said...their are areas of the Pacific theater (or at least campaigns that involved Japan) that could be made into a game. For example...the "Chinese Indecent" involved many aerocraft that Grumman didn't make. Also the "Air Battles of Khalkhin Gol" could be modeled. And lastly...the bombing campaign of Japan could be mapped out with B-29's, P-51's and Ki-84's, Ki-61's, Ki-44's, N1k2, Raiden...ect. Its far from complete, but the air battles around Guadalcanal could be mapped out with the Corsair, P-40 and P-39. I know that its far from perfect, but their are some campaigns that could be played out.
