Well, yes, once you nail down a date and decide to ignore all the things that don't fit for that date (for example, the British Navy didn't require its officers to wear uniforms until the mid-1700s, which is one reason commodorified and I set the "Men Must Work" series in 1760) it becomes much easier.
It's trying to make all the anachronistic bits fit into -one- historical period that'll drive you 'round the twist.
