This is an ongoing discussion about 17th Century naval wargaming (really, 1620-1720). Part of what is offered are scenarios for games: orders-of-battle, ship lists, battle descriptions, and scenarios for Age of Sail II-Privateers Bounty (a sailing warfare computer simulation/game), suitable scaled for that environment.

The Battle of Öland on 1 June 1676
In the previous action in May 1676, the Swedes had lost the storeship Konung David (10 guns) and the Leopard. They had 26 ships in the line as well as 12 frigates, 10 storeships, and 7 fireships. The Danish-Dutch fleet had 25 ships in the line, with 10 frigates, 10 small vessels, and 5 fireships. The Van was commanded by the great Nils Juel. The Center was commanded by Cornelis Tromp. The Rear was commanded by Philips Almonde, the latter two being Dutchmen. It would be nice to list the ships, but I don't have the time, right now, to do so.
