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.

He was assigned to Auke Stellingwerf's 4th Squadron. In August 1665, he was with De Ruyter's fleet. In August, the Fazant had a crew of 118 sailors, 15 marines, and 17 soldiers. He was assigned to Cornelis Evertsen's squadron. The Fazant was one of the ships leased to Denmark from 1666 to 1667. Sources:
