Iain Stanford has made good progress on scenarios for General-at-Sea

We may not see them until at least the fall, but Iain Stanford has assembled scenarios from 1639 up to the Four Days Battle, in 1666, for the General-at-Sea rules. Iain has a new version of the rules that considers burden for defense values, broadside weight for combat values, and real crew numbers. I think that it should improve the realism to use that, rather than "counting guns". Certainly, plenty of rule designers have "counted guns", and it is one thing that you can do, when you don't have much information.
