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 Naval Officer: Cornelis de Liefde
Cornelis de Liefde was born in Rotterdam in 1617. He died in Rotterdam on 25 September 1673. He commanded in the Four Days Battle and perhaps the St. James's Day Battle in 1666. He was wounded in the Battle of the Texel in 1673, and later died. He served the Admiralty of the Maze (Rotterdam). On 17 March 1666, he was appointed as an extraodinary captain. On 4 February 1667, he was promoted to captain. On 21 August 1673, he was a titular Schout-bij-Nacht. This is from my translation of the short bio in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek.
