RE: SGII And Points

I have never understood this mentality, in Historical or SF/Fantasy
games.	I 
guess some don't like to force their brain cells into actually thinking
about 
the scenario.  Of course, you could have them use GW's points and then
use 
weapons conversions to SG.  Or give them a system where all costs are
figured 
to the nearest 10,000th.

So were these guys powergamers, munchkins or both?
Or did they not play SF games?
