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 Captain: Pieter van Zalingen
Pieter van Zalingen served the Admiralty of Amsterdam. In the fall of 1652, he commanded the three-masted jacht Brak (18 guns). He was part of Augustijn Balck's convoying force that accompanied a convoy to Muscovy in October. In 1656, he commanded the 44-gun ship Gelderland in Lt-Admiral van Wassenaer's fleet that went to Danzig. In 1658, he commanded the Harder (30 guns). While Captain Zalingen had been operating with the fleet 1n 1658, he was apparently not present at the Battle of the Sound. Sources:
