A good idea Fletch, but there are relatively few vets in 2950 as opposed to 1650. The newbie-vet ratio would be much higher in 2950.

Subject: [mepbmlist] 2950 Vs 1650
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2002 15:04:47 -0000While reading through all these posts about best positions, it dawned
on me that maybe the answer is in the game system.In my opinion, 2950 is a much "safer" game system and maybe a better
environment for a new player. Most of the nations arent under the
immediate threat that they are in 1650.(except maybe Rhun) With less
pop centers and less armies, there is obviously less to worry about.
Also, since the game starts slower and puts more emphasis on
building a nation it would help a new player learn more of the orders
quicker. Most of the starting armies make camps rather than invade
their neighbors and even the front line nations really arent in
jeopardy of losing the majority of their pop centers from the get go
(unless of course you are up against some top guys, or Rhun!<S>)So, maybe it might be worthwhile to direct new players into 2950
games as a learning opportunity?Fletch
