Sounds like a precise description of a historical situation...

Actually not.
The Netherlands then builded the largest navy in the world.

he he ... I meant the Spanish failure...

Although not many Spanish ships were actually sunk during the Armada campaign, lots were stranded in Dutch low waters, destroyed by Dutch coastal batteries and the crews slaughtered by the locals. And the English fleet nearby totally scattered the Spanish fleet. The Dutch fleet while important, was not imperative and consisted mainly of small coastal vessels, although they did prevent Parma from going to sea on his own for a long while.

Maybe I'd include a couple of missile type ship units for the Dutch to represent their coastal defenses even better? -but they ought not to be too strong, since I want a serious challenge for the Dutch player too. Already lowered the defense of naval fortresses, so that the Spanish will have some chance in breaking down the fortresses, before conquering the cities (the idea was to force the Spanish to take out the fortresses by taking the cities first, but the other might be an option too, after all)

Hey, just out of curiousity, when will the release version of this scenario be out? I'm really looking forward to it, and I greatly regret not being to help playtest...no time...hopefully time will free up later...

Well the scenario is just as done as it gets. The only things I'm adjusting are the little balance things. I want to use every option available to make the Spanish play a better game. The English plays a superb game, and the game is pretty challenging playing either the English, the Dutch, the Spanish or the Scots.

So I'm playing the game thru time and time again, adjusting unit statistics, unit roles, prices, placing, small game.txt fixes. There's room for one or two more events as well.

I also need to get the documentation done and find a proper title.gif.

So in a matter of weeks, probably. Got an exam assignment this week, but probably can't help playing and tidying it up anyway.
