A fair point. I now adapt the scenarios from They died for Glory for use with other rules as the original rules rely on specific numbers per base and numbers of figures engaged - a real inflexible pain.

To the OP:

We use 10mm on 40mm frontage for Field of Glory, both A&M and Ren.  If we ever got into the Nappy wars, we would do 10mm, too.

But that's us crazy Yanks here in Indiana.   

I now use 40mm frontage as well for FOB2. A four base unit looks terrific and works well with 10mm buildings.

Aahh there is a very original ruleset for 10mm: Anticamente.

Something original y different

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. 

I think the relation between movement speed and firing ranges is important as well. After all, it matters whether it takes you 1, 2 or 5 turns to get to grips with those darn guns. Tomorrows War for example has a what-you-can-see-you-can-hit approach that makes it virtually scale free.

Usually if you scale down the unit dimensions you also scale down the move distances and ranges, thus preserving the relevant ratios. The easiest way is by moving from inches to centimetres.
