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 Amsterdam Directors' ship Elias
I imagine that the Amsterdam Directors' ship Elias was hired sometime in March 1652, as were the bulk of the Directors' ships. The Elias was quite a large ship, having dimensions of 132.5ft x 30ft x 13ft, with 6.5ft between the main deck and the upper deck. Her armament on 8 November 1652 consisted of 4-brass 24pdr, 14-12pdr, 10-8pdr, 4-6pdr, and 2-3pdr guns. Her crew varied from 112 men up to at least 120 men. This is a summary of the Elias's service:
