I agree. CoC has a ground scale of 1:120 (40 yards to the foot), or near enough exactly 15mm. IABSM is double that at 1:240, or about 7.5mm, which is pretty close to 6mm (especially given most 6mm figures are on the tall side!).

You may be confusing IABSM with ChoC.?The ground scale for IABSM is about equivalent to 6mm figures. One foot equals 80 yards or 1:240.
Kind regards

It also depends a lot on the scale of the minis you use. 28mm minis need a lot more space than 15mm, and some folks even use 6mm... As far as I remember, the assumed base scale is 15mm.

I have had this discussion before with the TFL folks as yes, some of the scenario books don't mention a size.
-If you see a grid, then assume these are 12-inch by 12-inch.
-with no grid, I like to use a ruler to get a sense of the relative length of the "long-side" and the "short-side"
For example, if you measure on the paper printout from the scenario, that one side is 4 inches long and the other side is 6 inches long, then presto!? there is your 4 foot by 6 foot table.
I would not sweat it too much. The maps are very impressionistic so do what works for you with the gaming tables/plywood/foam pieces you have.
