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: Jacob Wolphertszoon
Jacob Wolphertszoon (or Wolfertszoon or Wolfertsen) served the Admiralty of Zeeland. In December 1652, he fought in the Battle of Dungeness, where he was assigned to Jan Evertsen's squadron. In early 1653, he fought in the Battle of Portland, and commanded a ship that was one of the 17 ships that sailed back to Zeeland after the battle. Late in the battle, he supplied Cornelis Evertsen de Oude with two barrels of gunpowder and some match. He almost certainly fought in the Battle of the Gabbard, and definitely fought in the Battle of Scheveningen. At Scheveningen, he was in Michiel De Ruyter's squadron and was in Marcus Hartman's small unit, along with Jacob Swart and Captain de Bitter. De Ruyter issued orders, in detail, to the smaller units composing his squadron. Sources:
