I just made another new Privateers Bounty scenario available for downloading at AngloDutchWarsBlog.com. The new scenario is for the action that in real life culminated in the capture of an English 4th Rate, the St. Patrick (48 guns) by two small Dutch frigates. They were both Zeeland ships, the Delft (34 guns) and the Schakerlo (28 guns). Both were built shortly before the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
Together, they caused the Malaga Merchant to flee and the captured the St. Patrick, by boarding. I based the scenario on the description in The Royal Navy: A history from the earliest times to the present, by William Laird Clowes (until Frank Fox pronounced the last name, I would never have guessed it rhymed with "clues" instead of "close").
