I think Kelsier is referring to the little picture maps in the "Scenarios" section of the new rule book. This is an excellent question and I'd like to hear everyone's take on it.
In most games where I partizipated, private ones and at tournaments, there were quadratic tables, normally 4' by 4'. I suppose it's just a matter of the available space.
For games or scenarios with many cavalry models a bigger mat would be great (4' by 6' f.i.), and in the old scenarios from the brown and the blue book, these measurements are sometimes recommended by GW.
And of course, If you are playing a mega battle with really a lot of models and perhaps more than two players, a bigger table would be appropriate. In the new army book the scenario of the Pelennor fields has such bigger dimensions.
