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.

English Captain: Peter Andrews
Peter Andrews served in the Parliamentarian navy. In 1642, he commanded the hired merchantman Mayflower (crew 121 men and 450 tons). He served in the Summer Guard for 1642. In 1643, he commanded the 2nd Rate Rainbow (42 guns and a crew of 240 men). He served in the Summer Guard for 1643 under the command of the Earl of Warwick. He may have temporarily commanded the Lion and Leopard in 1645, although he is not listed in Powell. From 1646 to 1647, he commanded the 2nd Rate Unicorn. He was only listed as being part of the Summer Guard in 1646. In 1648, he may have commanded the 2nd Rate George. Again, he does not appear in Powell's lists. Sources:
