Keith,

I've played 2 games of 1650 and 1 of 2950 (with a new one starting
shortly). IMHO, 1650 is better for a new player to get started 'cause
its easier to maintain a balanced economy.

2950 is much harder to handle economy wise, the propect of bankrupcy is
always just a few turns away if you don't watch it constantly. One
problem with 2950 is the market always seems to be much lower for sells.
That translates to fewer and smaller armies and a much slower action.

Anyhow, good luck in whatever you decide.
