I use cm with BP if 6mm or 10mm, some people halve everything, and some leave it the same.
I'm not keen on substituting cm for inches and use my own 2/3rds and half scale Quick Reference Sheets for BP (can e-mail if you wish). I think I may have got the idea from the BP forum (so could try there also). Also have my own 2/3rds QRS for FoB2 (had to compromise with some ranges however, particularly musketry). Any rule set with BW (base widths) for measurements may be used also (e.g., Maurice).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

That is interesting. Did not know about the existence of this wargame.

How many pages have those books? and.. could you tell us a little bit about how the games works/ mechanics/ rules engine ?

Using To the Last Gaiter Button as an example, the rule book contains both the campaign rules and the tabletop battle rules. The games take place between units occupying 10 inch squares (about 25cm), thus movement is so many squares, ranges are so many squares etc. The game also comes with two campaign maps, campaign charts and counters for the campaign (which incidentally look really good with colourful flags and so on). Bases are smaller than I usually prefer, and light infantry are recommended to be based on circular bases. the website has a lot of information about how the games work and photos as well.

I was looking at them last night and they were fine

What has happened to 'When the leaves fall'?...I couldnt see it listed
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

These rules are new to me especially the 7yw, Marlburian and ACW ones. :-bd

Fenton, I think When the Leaves Fall is being replaced by Home by Christmas.

I think so.

The bigger Mech are 130mm high and large.

The rules are in free download I believe.

The 10mm set for the opening month or two of Great War will be out for Salute 2015. I will let you know when I get a stand number.

Titled "Home Before the Leaves Fall" will have a full campaign game, battlefield rules and system for doing one-off battles. Just working on a mini-campaign as well of 4-5 linked battles.

Just got back from Cavalier Tunbridge Wells show - excellent show - and checked the links on the website and they seem to be working

I would have thought there were very few rulesets which can't be adapted for 10mm figures. After all, it's largely base-sizes and shapes that determine how a given set works. In the days when rule mechanisms were based on rigid figures-scales it might have been a problem, but now rule writers go to great lengths to make their rules scale-neutral. 
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
