When playing Battlefront's Team Yankee game, do you use metric or imperial measurements? |
| Winston Smith | 25 Apr 2017 8:21 p.m. PST |
Leave the metric measurements for the Communists. |

Remind me, how many NATO members use imperial, and how many use metric? :) |

Remind me, how many NATO members use imperial? Just the ones who put a man on the moon. |
| David Manley | 25 Apr 2017 9:20 p.m. PST |
But the Germans use metric don't they? :) |

Once the rockets go up who cares where they come down
That's not my department says… David Manley for the win! John T |

What scale is the game? 15mm or 0.591 inch? |

I didnt realise that the USA was communist! (Winston has forgotten that the US is officially a metric country, with imperial measurements being defined in terms of base metric units) |

the moonshot was a LONG time long…
all real scientists and engineers in the US use metric now. |

> all real scientists and engineers in the US use metric now. since that Mars debacle? |
| Old Wolfman | 26 Apr 2017 5:41 a.m. PST |
I usually use imperial,but consider myself flexible,if only for the game. |
| daler240D | 26 Apr 2017 5:53 a.m. PST |
even the Mars debacle was quite awhile ago. The Orion program is all metric. I agree using a MIX of the two is a disaster. The Apollo landing computer was SI units internally. |

for gaming at the scale I do, inches are actually the sweet spot. I use basewidths though, so it is unit agnostic for all practical purposes. |

> The Apollo landing computer was SI units internally. I went to a presentation about a decade ago about that computer, a simply astounding piece of computer history. |
