(...) LOL. Yards -- that's good. I'll have to try that at a game. Do most people use LEGO rulers or real rulers for the game? ~Clangador (20 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I'm not looking for any specific outcome. Thinking about it, it might be cool to use LEGO to measure ranges and such. I measured a 2x4 last night and it was 1 1/4 inches, so it's not that far off. I just wanted to know what the deal with them (...) (20 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) 4 studs = 1-1/4" 1 stud = 5/16" 3 studs = 15/16" If you want to go for a more accurate scale, use 2x3's instead of 2x4's.

(...) Everything else in the game is made out of LEGO. It's not really a matter of "appeal". one "inch" is *by definition* 4 studs.

(...) The game uses inches for things like range, distance, etc. 4 studs = 1 "inch" more or less... Declared to be exactly equal because that makes it more fun... So you make up a "stick" of 2x4 bricks in alternating colors (using plates on top and (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)
