I'm trained for metric and tend to stick with it. I can _do_ Ancient to an
extent, but I really don't like wading into poundals and slugs :)

Especially because I use GDW's "Fire Fusion and Steel" to design gear...

The main Imperial measures I still use in reality are miles (on the road)
and pints (for beer). Otherwise, metric.
