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.

Michael Baumber's book General-At-Sea
Overall, my assessment of Michael Baumber's book, General-At-Sea, is worth owning. While there are issues with the book, as far as some details, the book has coverage of Robert Blake's life and career are enough to justify the book. The coverage of the Civil War and the politics surrounding the establishment of the Commonwealth are quite useful. He also has good coverage of the Spanish War, and the events in the Mediterranean Sea involving the English fleet commanded by Blake.
