The area of the model is certainly 1/250000 that of the modelled region, but I possibly don't know how map scale works. I think it's 1:500 though! Is the model 1:500 or 1:250000 ?

You are putting up a good question, but hard to answer here. Due to the net censorship in China, I guess you won’t get that many comments from them either although it would have been interesting to read them.

The first one is in orders groups to explain to others what you're all about to do in the upcoming battle/operation. The second is at a military academies, staff colleges and the like where officers at various stages of their careers simulate or reproduce previous historical battles for learning purposes and strategy or tactical discussions.
