Most of the reason that we still use imperial measurements in our games
is
that I personally find cm a bit fiddly when moving miniatures on a
table.
With inches you can still eyeball and fudge it a bit and get away with
it.
Or maybe I'm just getting old.
The other reason is we sell mainly to the UK and US, where inches are
still
quite acceptable (we put in cm conversions for the sake of those too
young
to understand inches, or from those countries that don't use them at
all).
