Counter scaling for the Pocket Box version
 
FYI, if you're printing counters from the PDFs, and you want to downscale them to be compatible with the pocket box scale, set the scale in the print dialog to precisely 75%, and they'll come out perfectly. I'm making myself a set of column counters from Adventure 5, since the pocket box Melee map is particularly devoid of scenery.

I think the scale of the hexes in the Pocket Box is 1", and the regular is 1.5". I haven't actually got a Pocket Box map to confirm, though (still waiting on delivery!). So I think the exact equivalent would be to get the scaling to 67%, though I'm sure 75% would work too.

The hexes may be 67%, but the counters are definitely, without a doubt, 75% Full size counters are 1 inch, and the PDFs print to that at 100% scale, and the pocket box counters are definitely 3/4 of an inch, which the PDF counters match precisely when printed at 75%.

Yes, all that sounds correct. I feel like some of the maps I have from old solo modules had hexes a bit less than 1" across (maybe 5/6?). I'll have to go check.

The original game's hexes were 3/4" from side to side. If that matters.
