And see, what Larry didn't take into account was that I was completely unaware
of that before now. He assumed I was taking a shot at you, which is not the
case. I was under the impression that the switch to brick-sticks had just kinda
happened one day by communal agreement, which confused the heck out of me.

It makes perfect sense to do for an all-LEGO game (which is nearly possible now,
thanks to the dice that come with the larger OE sets, the LEGO Writing System,
and official LEGO graph paper...all that's missing is the clipboard), which
perfectly fits with the whole LUGNET mindset, and that's probably why noone has
questioned it before. Having just skimmed over the rules, I noticed that ESPG
is not currently an all-LEGO game, so someone who owns no LEGO bricks that's
playing it with Playmobil ships would be seriously disadvantaged having to go
out and buy LEGO sets just to make the ruler (truthfully, there are many much
more legitimate reasons why that person should be spending lots of money every
year on LEGO sets, but that's beside the point) or suffer using 1.25" units.
Also, if Mr. Jackson is running this at major cons, all of the Warhammer-heads
are a thousand times more likely to be toting around their gaming tape measures
than 2' long brick-sticks, so even though they may be used in more games than
true inches, I'd be somewhat surprised if the game ever officially switches
over.
