In some games, base widths. In Midgard, "Spear Throws". In wargaming, I like inches the best. In every other aspect of life, metric. |

Inches every time if possible. Cm and mm are just too fiddly for figure gaming, especially coupled with my big fat fingers. |

Cubits, spans, finger length… And of course, the ever popular barley or s. |
