Right, I was almost swayed, but the idea of only moving 1d6 cm per turn of cautious movement sounded... less than dramatic...  :(

I'm using 10mm and inches for CoC. I played a game Friday using inches and it works fine for me. I think cm just wouldn't really work, unless you had a very small table.

Wulf,
    I'm also playing CoC with 10mm, and I also stuck with inches as written.  You can see my first game's batrep here on the Pendraken forum under the 'Battle Reports' listing.  I played on a 4' x 4' table.  It's funny, because after the Patrol Phase, there is a good chance you're not going to use a good deal of the table, especially if you're playing smart and keeping a squad/section in reserve (unlike me, I scattered my forces to the winds).
    I'd say you could play a 10mm game in cm on an 18" x 18" board, but you'd screw up the Patrol Phase (there wouldn't be enough room.  I haven't looked at trying to use cm on a 2' x 2' board.  It should work, I suppose, but if you can pull off a 4' x' 4' table I'd say use that and stick to inches, it looks pretty good (in my opinion).

V/R,

If you shrank all inches to cm, you should be fine on a 3'x2' table, but that sounds very cramped...

I should have 4'x4' available too.

Wulf,
    I agree, you could do it in cm on a 3' x 2', but I think it would be cramped, and, as someone else mentioned here, it wouldn't look very dramatic.  And maybe the actual fight would be cool, but the Patrol Phase I think would look/work pretty strange. 
    But it's been working great for me on the 4' x 4'.

V/R,
Jack
