The only restriction I could see working here is that you must have a corps 
present to build a depot outside of your home nation.  This would mean that 
you could only use foreign fleets when you are literally using invasion 
supply for an invasion.  I'm not sure if that is a sensible restriction, 
but it is the only one I can think of that might apply.
