Too Fat Lardies

I also reduce Scouting Cavalry's points by 1 per Group to compensate for the reduced numbers.

6 does make them more fragile, which is the main gripe. However they're fragile as 8s anyway.

Also perhaps worth noting that in Infamy (unlike in COC and SP2) a unit's Activation is not made up of a set number of Actions.
