[2 Suggestions] Meaurement Options and Round Tracking

A few friends and I signed up for the open beta with the intent to test it for playing Warhammer 40k online. So far, our one big thing is that the ruler measures everything in feet. While we've been working around it, it would be nice to have the option to display inches. We're also using tokens with auras for the blast templates, and those would be nice to have an option for inches as well. The other thing we noticed while looking over the features is that the Turn Tracker could really use a small display of the round number as well. We thought of various 4e D&D abilities that lasted certain amounts of rounds, and keeping track of the number would help with that in the long run.
I reported the measuring tool issue. For the TT there are people using it in all sorts of ways I had never even considered (multiple turns per token, turn randomization, turns based on seating position) so rounds don't necessarily fit nicely. Perhaps the ability to add a "new round" entry as a reminder to the DM when that marker as at the top of the round?
That would be good, or simply making it a check-box option to track rounds even.
I actually had the mind of using it for Warhammer 40k roleplaying, which presents a similar issue. Basically if we could measure things in metres as well, or whatever unit fits a given game system, that would be awesome.
I added the turn tracker bit to the list I'm compiling here <a href="http://community.roll20.net/discussion/550/turn-tracker-cross-page-usage-ideas" rel="nofollow">http://community.roll20.net/discussion/550/turn-tracker-cross-page-usage-ideas</a>
