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.

10 'thingies' to a foot? That just seems wrong (and I grew up learning
metric.  (8-) )

No... a centifoot would be 1/100ths of a foot, and a millifoot would be
found at the end of a millipede's leg.

Then why does it not follow that the centifoot would be found at the end

of a centipedes leg?
