[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 6401517, member: 6779310"] Because 25mm minis on 20-25mm bases is a wargaming standard worldwide, and 2.5cm grids allow them to fit nicely "in the box" of the grid. And in metric lands, which by the way lack convenient measures for body parts, thus making mental integration somewhat harder, it's not that hard to take a ruler and a chunk of string or a dowel, and mark off every 2.5cm. Or to take and mark every 2.5cm with a paint dot on the ruler itself. 1"=10' was the standard for the "underworld", and 1"=10yd on the surface, derived from chainmail's 1"=10yd and 1:20 figure scale. (D&D [OE] Vol 3, p 8; Chainmail, 3rd ed, p 8.). Many players, however, set up dungeons at 1"=5' because it was a better fit for 25mm figures' height to ground scale, and also about right for 25mm figures to 28mm figures; its just about dead on perfect for 30mm.
