An idea for a scenario: The Royalists at Kinsale in October 1649

I think that it might be interesting to have a Privateers Bounty scenario for the Parliamentarian blockade of Kinsale. It is more interesting, if we go with the reduced Parliamentarian forces in plce after 26 September 1649. The guns are my estimates, as I don't have as much data as I would like. The scenario starts with the Royalists in the harbor at Kinsale. The weather is bad, and their goal must be to escape the harbor without being intercepted by the Parliamentarians.
  • Lion (52 guns), flagship of Robert Blake
  • Garland (44 guns)
  • Elizabeth (36 guns)
  • Nonsuch (36 guns)
  • Guinea frigate (32 guns)
The Royalists were:
  • Constant Reformation (52 guns)
  • Swallow (40 guns)
  • Convertine (46 guns)
  • Ark (28 guns)
  • James (29 guns) 300 tons
  • George (26 guns)
  • Culpepper (28 guns)
  • Roebuck (14 guns) 90 tons
  • Blackmoor Lady (18 guns) 180 tons
  • Ambrose (24 guns)
  • Charles (40 guns)
  • "Washford" frigate (26 guns)
  • "Scots" frigate (24 guns)
