Depends on the scenario....  Once played in a spaceport defense game
using
SG.  Had lots of enemy forces crowded around a large fuel dump.  I spent
an
inordinate amout of munitions, including a heavy air defense missile, to
blow that thing up.  (The dice gods must have been very angry at me that
day.)  It finally did explode, taking a couple of units with it, but my
opponent had time to disperse himself somewhat with my ineffective
attempts
to detonate it.

So, a 'wasted' heavy AA missile, and a destroyed fuel dump (in a
starbase we
wanted to keep).    Heavy hits, but we deemed it worth it compared what
we
were up against.

Somewhere, I had a point to this......
