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.

The Zierikzee Directors' ship
We apparently know more information about the single Zierikzee Directors' ship. The captain is sometimes called Cornelis Rocuszoon Teincen, but from handwritten documents, it is apparent that his correct name is Cornelis Rocuszoon Fincen. That is the name listed in Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet, as well. He commanded a ship that carried 34 guns and had a crew of 110 men. The ship was apparently named the Liefde, which is the real news.
