17th Century Naval Wargaming

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.

Perhaps the 3 pdrs for Claes Sael's ship should be 8 pdrs

The three pounders listed for Claes Sael's ship, the Maria, are in the position where eight pounders would be shown. Perhaps the 3pdr is a copier's error. (This is in the document that I received from Jan Glete, from the Wrangel Collection in the Swedish archives).

About Me

Jim: I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
