Well, I watched it, and have to say that it jumped around a bit, and totally ignored the first REAL battling navy of QE1 in which the foundations of the 17th C successes were founded. The quantum leap between matchlock and flintlock was covered in less than half a dozen words, too, and then, all of a sudden, it came to an end.

Some great sequences there courtesy of the 'Sealed Knot Society', though, to give you some idea how Cromwellian forces might have engaged in battles in Ireland.

I'd give it 5/10.
