Russ makes excellent points, but I don't think a point handicap is enough to give both players a fun game. Many of my games end in surrender.What I would do is go to the RSG and declare that he will automatically take a 'green' order of battle while you will automatically take an 'elite' order of battle. Then allow you to set up last, whether or not you are attacker. These changes will make up for most of his advantage in experience, and you will both have fun.
I bet Simone would agree to that challenge in a heartbeat.
