The point of the sentence I quoted is simply to differentiate “regional territories” from “colonies”. Regional territories can trace a line through contiguous original territories back to the capital, while colonies are removed from the capital. The only difference this really makes is that colonies of minor powers are handled a little differently than their capitals. Since minor powers don’t have regional territories anyway, this sentence is more about “flavor” than anything else.
Movement Question Regarding Tournament Rules
-
Haven’t played many games of WWI yet, but had a movement question regarding the tournament rules. They state that units can now move two spaces, unless they are entering a contested or hostile territory. That does not preclude a player from moving from a friendly territory, into a second friendly territory, and then into a hostile territory two spaces away does it?

That is exactly what the rules prevent. You must use your full movement to enter a hostile territory (one that contains no friendly units); think of this in the same way that you can’t move ground units before loading onto a transport.
You can move units multiple spaces into a contested territory though, and they would participate in an attack in said contested territory if you made one.
