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: William Wildey
William Wildey served in the Parliamentarian and Commonwealth navies. In 1646, he commanded the hired merchantman Charles, which was kept ready, but not used. Powell calls him "Weldy" in the list of ships held in reserve. In 1649, he commanded the 2nd Rate Charles. Finally, in 1650, he was flag captain and commanded the 1st Rate Resolution. In August 1650, he was present at the pursuit of Prince Rupert. Sources:
