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.

Dutch Admiral: Mooy Lambert
Lambert Hendrickszoon's nickname was Mooy Lambert. He was born in Tiel about 1550. He died in Rotterdam on 17 March 1625. He was perhaps most famous for the Battle near Gibraltar in 1607. He eventually died from wounds during a battle with Dunkirk privateers. He served the Admiralty of the Maze (Rotterdam). He was promoted to captain in 1592. In 1607, he was appointed as a temporary Schout-bij-Nacht. In May 1624, he was promoted to Vice-Admiral. He was about 74 years old at the time. This is from my translation of the entry in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek.
