What is the size of a single camp for 28mm scale?

I am guessing by camp you are asking about baggage. S is 60mm x 120mm while all others are 60x60mm or 60x80mm.
I think the 80mm depth is a hang over from the older versions where chariots were extra deep due to the size of the models.
It made for some interesting quirks for the 25mm game

Not strictly ballroom (nor DBMM) but it is common for people to model a camp as a vignette that is on one big base, often bigger than the sum of the individual baggage elements would be, just because it is cool 😎

I tend to make Vignettes generally 120mm x 120mm so basically 4 elements of baggage. Then I have "change": several single baggage element 60x60 bases just in case the camp is attacked.
This is my 4 element Assyrian Camp
