It's a very fun game in it's own right -- and there were extra Prestige Tables published in
The General as I recall (it's an Avalon Hill game), which, if you can't find anywhere else, I will try to find a legal download of for you (though it might be hosted on the Web Archive or something). Naturally, it's out of print now, and the copies on Amazon are running near $100 (and more, over on E-bay). Boardgame Geek might have someone selling one for less, though...

That's probably true; I went through the same thing and we were constantly told how metric was coming, was right around the corner...wait for it...wait for it... But the reason I mentioned that is because Steve Jackson said something along the lines of "I think in feet and inches" not too long ago (check out the interview linked to earlier in the other thread), and, sadly, so do I. I'm not hard-over on it or anything, but it might be worth at least considering...or not, it's all good as far as I'm concerned.
