The Battle of the Downs might make a good Privateers Bounty scenario

The Dutch OOB would be a challenge, and we would have to invent a lot of data about Spanish ships, but the Battle of the Downs might make an interesting Privateers Bounty scenario. We could make more use of the archaic-looking merchant ship 3D model for the Dutch, in particular, as they had many small ships. The model has a beakhead and a high stern. One good thing to try, that I just thought of, would be to correlate the list of captains in C.R. Boxer's book about Tromp's journal in 1639 and the data in J. C. de Jonge's Geschiedenis van het Nederlandsche Zeewezen, Vol. I, in the appendices.
