I am coming up with my own rules for a new game using the 1:144 armor miniatures that I have collected. My question is that using that scale, what would the area of effect be of an artillery projectile? I have tried to look this information up on the internet with little success. Anybody want to venture a guess?

Flames of war uses a 6 x 6 inch template for all bombardments of all arty (except Russian God of War battery so far) and aircraft bombs. A different scale, but one you may extrapolate from there I think.

You just need to know the diameter of each blast, for each size gun, and divide it by 144. 1:144 scale means a 144 foot blast diameter will be a 1 foot circle in your game. That would be the size of an explosion from some naval gun or something of that large nature.
