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.

A piece of information from Dr. Elias about Directors' ships
Dr. Elias, in Vol.II of Schetsen uit de geschiedenis van ons zeewezen, says that Directors' ships were intended to carry a crew of 85 officers and sailors and 25 soldiers, for a total crew of 110 men. That was the crew size for a large number of ships, so we now have a good idea of how many soldiers were intended to be carried. I had not seen a figure for Directors' ships before this.
