It's the standard Wargame terminology for scale, and represents the
average
height of a human figure - there are many slight variations of opinion
as
to exactly how it is defined, but we've always taken it to be the height
from ground to EYE LEVEL of an average male figure standing straight -
so a
"true" 25mm" figure will be about 25mm to eye-level, plus another couple
of
mm to top of head or whatever headgear he is wearing - maybe 27-28mm
overall height.
