I agree that 1:1 scale map of maximum 400x400 sounds a reasonable compromise but in some cases I still think that a reduced scale is the way to go. In the picture below you can see for example the main airfields in southern China. The yellow line is 200 km long. the minimum distance between major US and Japanese airfields is around 300 km and in a 400x400 km map area there would be just few of them.
