In the new Second edition rules we can do bomb raids on air bases, naval bases, and on ICs.  My question is this because there is not a clear answer in the rule book:  If you are using Stat and Tact, bombers to do the raid, and have to fly to the target, are those forces allowed to fly over other enemy forces to conduct the raid?  Example:  THe English channel is filled with British navy ships, and I want to bomb the London IC, can it be done without having to destroy those ships first to clear a path?

I am thinking we should be able to do this, since it would make sense  on a long range bombing mission for that sort of damage, but was wondering if anyone has insight into this for sure.

We have 4 areas on the map marked with the Canadian leaf.  How are those land masses handled in regards to moving say U.S. troops in.  Do they mark them as U.S. owned , like the Dutch areas in the Pacific with the Brits and ANZAC?
