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: Calis
I do not have any record of Captain Calis's first name, but he served the Admiralty of Zeeland and fought in the Battle of Beachy Head in 1690. He commanded the ship Tholen (60 guns) and was assigned to Gerard Callenburgh's division in Cornelis Evertsen's squadron. His ship was one of those lost after the battle. His ship was burnt rather than let it fall into French custody.
