I was going to play on a 32" board, but wondered if the flank 2BW and 4BW limits extend out to the flanks of the bigger board, or if they "scale" to be bigger on the bigger board (i.e they would be something like 3BW and 5BW instead.
Also, given that the board is deeper, given that the armies always deploy 3BW from the center line, should the camp also be deployed further forward, or does it always go on the baseline?

The deployment zone will vary with the size of the board, but this is measured 4BW from the side edges and 3BW from the centre line. Troops need not deploy 3BW from the centre, but further back to take advantage of terrain for example. The camp is placed touching the board edge.

I like playing on larger boards when I get the chance myself. While Timurilank is correct on the measurement, my personal preference ( presuming it is a standard 12 stand game and not BBDBA) is to adjust the flank zones inward such that the initial deployment zone coforms to the 2'x2' game board. This will allow more maneuver room once game play starts but will not stretch out initial deployment overly much.
