Never bothered us locally (meaning my old crew, not me and 'local'
Dom).  Everything was a 'hex', and encumbrance and such was roughly done
(running either strapping warriors or wimpy mages helps).  I don't think
it's an issue.

As an aside, in the rules I've been writing up, I've gone with units
that are deliberately vague.  'Paces' for movement and weapons reach,
and therefore for distance, 'Beats' for time, and a Weight value for
weapons, which is more a coefficient than a measure of mass, so I
suppose it will do.  Heck, with for RPG, I could presume a coin of WGT
1, and bingo!, currency, too.  :)
