Please explain the +1 movement notation the is on the map with these two canals.
If a ship is in the Eastern Med and moves to the Red Sea is it one movement point or two? (Same scenario for a ship from Baltic Sea to North Sea.)
Is the canal actually considered a sea zone for movement purposes? That would support the side that it takes two movement points to move from a sea zone one side to the a sea zone on the other.

Hello Craig,
The canals (Suez, Panama and Keil) are treated like separate sea zones for movement pruposes ONLY.
Moving form the Eastern Med to the Red Sea would be 2 movement points.
Naval units can not "occupy" a canal zone though.
For example - if British Naval units had to retreat one space from the Eastern Med - they would end up in the Red Sea. That is the only exception to movement through a canal.
