That way, the odds wouldn't be so stacked against the vets - it would be a completely fair math up, hopefully - and each noob would be able to learn directly from a vet on his team, as well as the ones they were fighting. In fact, I may try to start a game like this. But not until this one is concluded.

That idea has been brought up before and could prove interesting. Though I always wondered whether such a game would be more properly referred to as Noobs and Vets. I would certainly give my endorsement to any follow up noobs vs vets game type game. Matching up noobs and vets is an extremely difficult balancing act as there are so many variables both quantifiable and unquantifiable. My hopes and prayers go with anyone else who wishes to try.
All of us involved have put a great deal of thought and preparation into every game in the series (if you know me, you know I wouldn't have it any other way), including almost a month for this last one before we even got started.
While I can't speak for all the noobs, this game has certainly added to the knowledge I picked up from the vets in the previous two games. Hopefully, the focus on learning and spirit of teamwork will continue for as long as feasible in this game and in any future iterations.
Game note: With luck we should be able to get one more turn in before having to institute a delay, unless the vets have found a suitable sub for atul.
