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.

Luc Eekhout on Pieter Middellandt
Pieter Middellandt served the Admiralty of Amsterdam. He was born in Gouda. He died near Palermo on 2 June 1676. He commanded in the battles of Stromboli, Etna, and Palermo. His ship was burnt and he was drowned. The Admiralty of Amsterdam appointed him captain in 1665. In 1676, he was promoted to Schout-bij-Nacht. This is my translation of the piece in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek.
