Yes, the 'and' should have been an 'or'... All I knew was that it was sometime before 1658...Registered said:Not the 1640s the Dutch fleet was still in a good shape at the time and the Republic and England were mosttly friendly. You're thinking about 1652-1653 . Yes it was a solely naval affair but whether that would be usefull in the game depends entirely on how the trading system works and what navies can do about it. And as far as i can think of it is also the only example of a purely naval war. (the other anglo dutch wars were laos fought in the colonies and with attempts on the Dutch mainland) I'm not sure how aing it to the game would improve it.
