games, both fantasy and 40k use Inches for distances in their Engllish
language versions. IIRC the transaltions into other languages use some
kind of metric conversion.

You know, I just realized there's one unit of
measure I've yet to see converted to metric.
Grains. I haven't seen a lot of decigram
calibrated scales out there. But then I guess
that a lot of metric countries don't have people
loading their own ammunition.
Still, bringing it back on topic, perhaps I'm old
school but the only game I can think off off the
top of my head what uses Metric for measurement
is the GW crowd of games. Everything else seems
to use Inches for distance.
