Just started a league 
the intention is NOT to win - but to learn
a couple of experts and anyone who wants to improve. 
I'm expecting that in most games one expert/more will be on a side or another - and that all players will discuss tactics for any interesting specific moves in each game - either by email or even openly in the in game chat - this is intended to educate folk (like me) who need a bit of fine tuning. 
Please join the league 7581 if you would be interested in discussing moves with other players to try and get the best moves for your side - coordinated or as individuals each turn.
if you don't want chatter - don't join please 

 I'm afraid you will get a lot of chatters willing to teach, may be even too much. Anyway I hope that you will be able to sort out some hints in the sea of advice you will get.
