Thanks everyone for the fun game!  I personally learned a lot, and look forward to using that experience in future games.
Big thanks to Bullock for hosting this too.  I found the team format quite helpful for learning things. 
 One thing I would like to suggest for any others looking to do a team game in the future with noobs:  Split the teams so that every team has a mix of experienced players, and noobs.  I found it very nice to be able to discuss strategy with team mates without having to post on the forums, and give away my plans.
