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.

English Captain: Thomas Cheyney (or Cheney)
Thomas Cheyney (Cheney) served in the Parliamentarian and Commonwealth navies. In 1646, he commanded the hired ship Exchange. He served in the Summer Guard for 1646. He commanded the Exchange, again, from 1649 until 1650. In 1653, he commanded the hired ship Culpepper (30 guns). He was in Blake's squadron that arrived on the second day of the Battle of the Gabbard in June 1653. He probably also fought in the Battle of Scheveningen. Sources:
