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.

I had forgotten that I had solved the question about who Anthonis Fappenlain was
The First Dutch War, Vol.V, mentions Anthonis Fappenlain as being in Michiel De Ruyter's squadron at the Battle of Scheveningen. On April 24, 2004, I had posted a piece about De Ruyter's squadron that explained that Anthonis Fappenlain (or Foppenthey) was Thijs Tijs Tijssen Peereboom's lieutenant. Apparently, he actually commanded the ship in the battle, so he was called "lieutenant-commander" or luitenant-commandeur. The ship was the Noorderkwartier ship Peereboom (24 guns). I had forgotten that I had solved this issue, in part thanks to Dr. Elias.
