Yes, it's a great unit to use for minis gaming. For those who just can't 
handle the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot, there are decimal 
measuring sticks and tapes out there. They're marked in feet, but each 
foot is divided into ten subdivisions. Your MU would be 1.2 inches, but 
your math would be really easy.
