I sure can do that, too, and was also contemplating it. But wouldn't the British send in their best units, if there were to be a war this close to their home?

It takes time for kit to trickle down to the front lines. Keep in mind that we're playing a BAOR unit, which would be expected to stand and fight with whatever kit it had available until they could be reinforced.

As an example, 2RTR didn't get Challengers until 1985 despite being based in Germany for over a year at that point, and some BAOR units still had Chieftans in '89.
