I made ships cards for all the English and Dutch ships present at the Four Days' Battle of 1666. I tried to work the differences between Dutch and English ship design and armament into the cards despite the models being the same. The Dutch ship, though being roughly of the same size had fewer and lighter guns which shows in its broadside value and only the English ship keeping the 'Weight of Fire'.
