Yes planes can pass over any zone that contain enemy ships, enemy planes, or enemy units. Planes cannot pass over neutral countries. In sbr’s they have to fight their way in if escorted or not if they are intercepted. After the interception or not then they get shot at by aaa and then if they survive that they get to bomb the factories and the tac bomber’s can bomb the airfields and naval bases. You are right that in the older version the aa was always active but not anymore. Hope this helps! :-)
Is an Infantry a Land Unit?
-
@barnee sorry, another learner question: when mobilizing/placement/Deployment of purchased units, the rules say that land units can only be placed near industrial complexes. Does this include infantry?
-
hmm … where did you see the above ? This is how they roll

so all land and air can be placed in the Industrial Complex with ships being placed in a Sea Zone next to the complex.
10 for Major and 3 for Minor placement
Unless you play @The-Captain s mod which allows you to upgrade to 12 and 4 :)

@barnee sorry to be unclear. My question is: is Infantry considered a “land unit”, and therefore only allowed placement in a territory where there is an industrial complex?
-
yep Infantry a land unit. Can only be placed where there’s a complex.
Can’t place them directly on a Transport either. Has to be in the Territory where the complex is -
