Actually in AE this won't be possible either. The Canal is in an "off map" area, and it was decided early on that allowing movement/combat between both sides in these areas would be too complex to add to the game, so use of the "off-map" areas is Allied only.

Cool, that means I won't have to worry about I-boats catching my new carriers in the narrow channel...
