Concord and Lexington Area Mods Load Order Help

I'm wanting to use the following mods:

Concord Expanded, Lexington Interiors, Beantown Interiors, Subway Runner, Tales of the Commonwealth

And I was wondering what is the best load order and settings to get all of these to play nicely together? Not sure if I have any other mods that mess around with the areas but if anyone can name a few that aren't compatible I'll compare them to my current load order.

How on earth could the British have gotten to Lexington and Concord by sea during the American revolution?

In the story about Iโ€™ve always been taught about Paul Revereโ€™s ride itโ€™s said that they would hang one lantern if the British were coming by land, and two if they were coming by sea. How on earth was it a possibility that the British could go to Lexington or Concord by sea?

I know moving troops by river was a thing but Lexington is completely landlocked, and the Concord river flows from the Merrimack river much farther north of Boston.

I also know the popular story comes from a poem, so was the lantern detail a bit of poetic license derived from something different?

Explanation of the Current Discovery 'Battle' Between Concord and the Special Counsel

I don't want to give my own opinions here, or the appearance that I'm giving an opinion. I intend to let key excerpts from the documents speak for themselves, and I'm providing links to the source documents (full electronic docket available here. However, I do want to give a very brief procedural timeline of this discover issue to help people get oriented:

  • February 16, 2018: Special Counselโ€™s Office (โ€œSCOโ€) indicts alleged Russian trolls, naming thirteen Russian individuals and 3 Russian companies. Source.

  • April 11, 2018: In an apparent surprise move, an attorney from American firm Reed Smith files an appearance as counsel for one of the defendant companies, Concord Management and Consulting LLC (โ€œConcordโ€).

  • May 9, 2018: Concord enters a plea of Not Guilty at its arraignment hearing.

  • June 12, 2018: SCO submits a Motion for a Protective Order (a request that the court establish specific protocols for the protection of information disclosed to the defense in discovery). Source.

  • June 14, 2018: Concord files a legal memorandum in response to the SCOโ€™s motion, requesting the court refuse to enter any protective order, or in the alternative, that they enter a protective order with significantly less restrictions. Source.

  • June 25, 2018: SCO and Concord jointly submit a Contested Motion for a Protective Order, in which they have come to an agreement about nearly all terms and lay out the remaining disagreements (see below). Source.

  • June 26: 2018: The SCO and Concord submit dueling supplements to support their respective positions on the terms of the protective order. SCO Supplement; Concord Supplement.

April 19, Near Lexington And Concord - The Shots Heard Round The World!
                                                                                                                                                                  April 20, 2013

I realize that it's "too soon," and everyone wants to revel in, "USA! USA!" even as their rights started being stripped away in the very town where liberty was born - Boston! And very near Lexington and Concord (near Cambridge and outer Boston) where the Revolutionary War began on the exact same date - April 19, 1775. (Interesting. The Waco Branch Davidian FBI invasion of Koreshโ€™s compound happened on April 19, and so did Mc Veigh's Oklahoma City bombing!)

The surreal videos of the streets lined with cheering residents applauding the Federal troops who just invaded their neighborhood and searched hundreds of houses with no warrant was so bizarre that if I added it at the end of a movie script, the studio chief would say, "Take that out - no one will believe it!"

In the โ€œfog of war," mistakes will be made, no doubt.

There were reckless, unfocused actions and reporting as the events unfolded on April 19, 2013 because you cannot totally control "live fire" exercises. The media is now just completely ignoring the gross mistakes the police made, and the bad reporting that was given, such as the Tsarnaev brothers robbing the 7/11, which was reported all morning on April 19 as a fact by all the networks.

The CNN reporter is right at the 46-second mark: This is unbelievable!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7iBFJ1Jcjw

The police have a guy face-down in the street, while the Tsarnaev brothers are on a spree in another part of town!

The police strip the man naked and parade him down the street:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbCLeg5hv0A

Meantime, the real culprits are getting into a gunfight with law enforcement in a separate area of town.

All of the networks maintained they had pix of the Tsarnaev brothers robbing a 7/11 on April 19. Today, they are all backtracking as the police have now admitted that the 7/11 robbery was unrelated.

Here's how Vladimir Putin does it:

You want to be able to have a pretext to search houses without warrants. Now in Russia that's not a big problem, but they have to at least attempt to appear to be a democracy or there will be sanctions by the UN and the US and then Coca-Cola won't be able to open another factory there. So the Russians send troops into an area with backpacks and sniffer dogs. If anyone asks why the troops are th
