My main concern with this is that it's not possible within the game to recreate this historical glory due to very strange stats.

I also don't think there should be too much emphasis put on who were in the stats committee. This is something that concerns everyone and should be debated by everyone. (I'm a member.)

In this case I think that there would be two main roads to follow. Stats if we keep the out of line Spanish and if you would make the Spanish more according to historical facts. Basically I think Duff will use them in an open game and should therefore use as much of the original rules as possible and therefore base the stats on the existing Spanish ships. I'm still not sure about that extra box.
