[QUOTE="parvatiquinta, post: 4167105, member: 61848"] That's why corridors will be 45 metres long (especially since almost all the material published is English translations where the measurements are converted from feet anyway). You can see why a lot of Italian (and other, I guess) players think all the fuss to avoid the 1.5 diagonal sounds just silly. It's not hard at all to count by "1 and a half". No, of course not. 2 squares = 3m and that's what we really go for. I do think having 1 square instead of 5 feet is going to spare us at least some conversion maths though. The real problem comes when you have English books, or - even worse - a mix of translated and English books, and you have to constantly turn feet into metres, and then maybe inches into cm (and if feet were bad enough inches are a nightmare) and all that hassle. And then the British gallon is not the same as the American gallon... And there's a lot of material that just doesn't get translated. [/QUOTE]
