I completely agree with this statement.  I have over 6 years playing
experience, but more importantly I have over 15 game experiences.
Don't be fooled thinking that 3 1/2 years means that the person has
experience.  It means nothing if it is only one or two games.  With
all my playing experiences I have notice that rookies can easily make
drastic mistakes very easily.  Getting support of a Veteran is nice,
but make such you ask yourself WHY?  Is he a nice guy or gal, or is he
going to use you to promote is one victory.
I don't play the game any more, Since basically I got bored with the
game and became annoyed with it.  For you rookies, I'am willing to
answer a question or two to help you out.  I think the biggest
advantage veterans have over rookies is knowledge of other nations
goals and starting positions.
