The only rub I see is 5.2.2.2.3.1, which requires that the supply chain 
"start" in the home nation in order to send reinforcements. I take it from 
7.4.3.1 that the supply is supposed to flow from the end with the fleet, so 
I think that means you would need a fleet in Britain or Ireland to do this.
