My gaming philosophy

I don't believe in trying to find loopholes in rulesets so as to be able to "game the system". Instead, I believe that you should try to follow the spirit of how things actually worked/happened. I have generally applied that philosophy to miniatures gaming, but I would like to think that my solo gaming with Privateers Bounty is done in a similar spirit. I have tried to setup balanced scenarios for the Anglo-Dutch Wars that capture the balance of the real forces, despite having to scale them to the limitations of the game (about 82 total ships).
