Naval exclusion zone?

[DavidDailey]

In a PBEM game I am playing now( I am Allies) during a naval battle around Malta the hexes around enemy ships is colored and it appears I cannot venture onto these hexes. I think some, though possibly not all ships are near an enemy submarine. Can someone explain to me what is happening?

As of the last update (1.20) the cost of entering a naval zone of control was substantially increased depending on the type of ZOC (full or weak) and the number of ZOCs. The green and blue hatched hexes mean that your naval unit doesn't have the action points to enter those hexes. If a naval unit is moving from very far away if might not have enough remaining APs to able to enter any enemy naval ZOCs at all. The result is that it's a bit harder to manuver to "shoot and scoot" like before.
