PUMA (@PUMAonCOD) reported@SoaRZephy This is a cheat that I've seen happening since Battlefield. After a while it merged over to COD. It purposely pushes you off your aim. Based on your footage and my new Beta experience, they've upgraded it to also have lag spike glitches. It's garbage, dude.

Rick von Hagn 🗽 (@r_vonhagn) reported@peterawolf Hate this romanticized nonsense. Men sought glory on the battlefield because military service was the only meritocratic social structure that offered them an escape from the immiseration of peasantry and feudal service - and even then, many instead chose scutage.

PaulsCorner-VerseQuest (@TNTJohn1717) reportedkeeps a special apostolic strategy from becoming a universal command used by stingy churches to starve faithful labourers. Why, then, did Paul decline Corinthian support? First Corinthians 9:12 gives one reason: “we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.” Second Corinthians 11:12 adds another: Paul intended to “cut off occasion from them which desire occasion.” False apostles were watching for anything they could twist against him. Paul therefore removed financial suspicion from the battlefield. He would rather sacrifice his right than let greedy counterfeits turn his liberty into ammunition. That is mature Christianity. The flesh asks only, “Am I entitled to this?” Grace asks, “What will exercising this right do to the testimony?” Paul understood that a legitimate liberty can sometimes be surrendered for a greater spiritual purpose. Christian liberty is not the freedom to insist upon yourself; it is the freedom to lay something down when Christ’s interest requires it. The strongest proof that a man possesses a right is sometimes his willingness not to use it. Paul’s refusal to burden Corinth also separates shepherding from exploitation. Second Corinthians 11:20 had exposed false leaders who could “devour you” and “take of you.” Paul operates in the opposite direction. He does not approach Corinth wondering how much value can be extracted from them. His next phrase tells us exactly what he wants, and it is not their wallet. “for I seek not yours, but you:” This is the heart of the verse: “for I seek not yours, but you.” Few sentences expose false ministry more quickly. Paul distinguishes between what people possess and the people themselves. He is not primarily seeking Corinth’s money, resources, influence, labour, property, or usefulness to his own reputation. He wants the Corinthians spiritually. He seeks their restoration, growth, obedience, doctrinal stability, purity, and usefulness to Christ. That does not mean material giving has no spiritual place. Philippians supported Paul, and he received their generosity gratefully. Yet even there Paul wrote in Philippians 4:17, “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Paul could receive the gift while caring more about the giver’s spiritual fruit than the money entering his hands. That is the difference between ministry and merchandising. A hireling sees souls attached to resources; a shepherd sees resources as tools for helping souls. The phrase also confronts modern religious celebrity culture. A ministry can begin using people without ever asking directly for money. Followers can become numbers proving influence. Testimonies can become advertising material. Volunteers can become unpaid machinery feeding a brand. Congregations can become audiences whose chief function is making the leader feel important. Paul says, “I seek not yours, but you.” He wants people brought under Christ, not people brought under Paul as personal property. This principle is especially important because Paul had genuine authority. If anybody could have exploited apostolic status, Paul could have done it convincingly. Yet he refuses to convert authority into ownership. First Corinthians 3:5 asks, “Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed?” Ministers are servants, not masters of the saints. Christ purchased the church with His blood; no preacher gets to behave as though the flock came with his name on the title deed. There is also a salvation-and-service distinction here. Paul is not seeking Corinth so he can become their saviour. Christ alone saves. Paul had already written in 1 Corinthians 3:6, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” His pastoral desire concerns their spiritual welfare after the gospel has reached them. A faithful minister can care intensely about souls without confusing that care with the saving work only Christ can accomplish.

NPI-AMERICA (@Dr_Autistic_3D) reported@xpertfusion3 Agree except TTK, needs to be Faster like it was on Day one weekend 1, was perfect. It’s all that war is supposed to be a fast paced running gun that’s how call the dude’s always been like when we used to play shipment running around with dual pistols sliding through containers popping tops and then jumping up and popping another top three tops and instantly and then you get your top popped, but it was always fast. That’s how Call of Duty is always bad. I think the people requesting a slower TTK our former battlefield players I mean, each is entitled to their opinion, but when it takes an entire magazine from an M4 to kill someone there’s an issue I quit using my favorite gun because it took too long to kill Someone..

The Vector Brief (@vectorbrief) reportedNBA 2K27 IS TURNING THE VIRTUAL HARDWOOD INTO A HIGH-STAKES BATTLEFIELD The annual dance of sports titles usually brings incremental, barely noticeable tweaks. But with the latest shifts in NBA 2K27, Take-Two is finally addressing the mechanical bloat that has plagued the franchise for years. By overhauling both offensive spacing and defensive reactivity, they are clearly trying to solve the "meta" problem where one or two cheese moves define the entire competitive scene. It is a desperate attempt to keep the hardcore player base from jumping ship. Realism is often the enemy of accessibility, yet here we are watching developers trade arcade-style flash for granular, physics-based control. If these adjustments land, the game might actually reward basketball IQ instead of just exploiting engine glitches. We are watching a billion-dollar legacy title fight for its relevance in an era where gamers have zero patience for recycled code. Will tighter defensive logic finally kill the toxic three-point spam culture? Source: IGN $TTWO

Rick B. White (@RickBeeWhite) reported@MarioNawfal 🚨🇯🇴🇮🇷 EVEN A PEACEFUL PLACE CANNOT GIVE PEACE TO SOMEONE DETERMINED TO KEEP FIGHTING. Reports tonight say interceptions are underway over Jordan, with Iranian missiles allegedly targeting military facilities in the south of the country. The specific targets are still being verified, but one thing is not new: Jordan has already intercepted Iranian missiles entering its airspace multiple times during this conflict. And this raises a much bigger question: CAN YOU GIVE PEACE TO SOMEONE WHO REFUSES TO LIVE IN PEACE? Imagine creating the most peaceful country on Earth. No wars. No territorial disputes. No hatred. No historical grudges. No reason to fight. Now place inside it someone who carries conflict everywhere they go. How long before even that peaceful place becomes another battlefield? PEACE IS NOT ONLY A PLACE. It is also a decision. A mentality. A willingness to stop. Because someone determined to fight will eventually find an enemy. Someone determined to retaliate will eventually find a justification. Someone addicted to conflict could be placed on a hypothetical PLANET OF PEACE… and eventually ask: “WHO ARE WE FIGHTING?” That may be one of humanity’s greatest problems. We keep searching for peaceful borders. Peaceful treaties. Peaceful governments. Peaceful agreements. But what happens when PEACE DOESN’T EXIST INSIDE THE PEOPLE MAKING THEM? Then another missile flies. Another interception begins. Another country gets pulled into somebody else’s war. And another generation inherits the consequences. 📖 “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” — Romans 12:18 (KJV) YOU COULD BUILD A PLANET CALLED PEACE. But if its inhabitants are unwilling to stop fighting… EVEN THERE, PEACE WOULD NOT LAST.

GENESIS XRPL (@GENESISonxrp) reportedGENESIS FILE // THE EASTERN EXIT CHINA IS NOT BUYING XRP. THAT IS NOT THE STORY. The interesting part is what China is doing with the system around it. For years, the market has reduced China to one headline: “China bans crypto.” That headline is easy. The financial architecture underneath it is not. In 2026, something considerably more important has been taking place. Chinese authorities have been pushing financial institutions to reduce exposure to U.S. government debt, while China continues the longer-term process of diversifying its reserve structure. That does not mean Beijing is dumping the dollar overnight. It does not mean China has chosen XRP. And it certainly does not prove that Chinese banks are secretly accumulating XRP. The reality is more interesting. China is managing dependency. And dependency is the part most people fail to watch. I. THE TREASURY QUESTION In February 2026, reports emerged that Chinese regulators had asked domestic financial institutions to limit new purchases of U.S. government bonds and that institutions with large exposures were being encouraged to reduce those positions. The distinction matters. This was not simply: “China dumps Treasuries.” It was a reported effort to control concentration and exposure. That fits a much longer trend. China's Treasury holdings have been declining for years, while its reserve strategy has increasingly emphasized diversification, including gold. The European Central Bank's 2026 analysis makes an important distinction: the reduction in China's exposure should not automatically be interpreted as a disorderly Treasury liquidation. It notes that asset accumulation has increasingly shifted from China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange toward state-owned banks, meaning the visible Treasury numbers do not tell the entire reserve-management story. That is institutional finance. Not a meme. China does not need to destroy the Treasury market. It only needs to become less dependent on it. And that distinction changes everything. II. THE LIQUIDITY MYTH Another claim circulating through crypto markets says China suddenly “froze liquidity” immediately before an XRP move and that Asian capital subsequently rotated into XRP. There is a problem. There is no reliable evidence establishing that causal chain. China's liquidity operations in 2026 have been complicated, changing over time and directed toward multiple objectives. There have been liquidity injections, changes in open-market operations and efforts to manage financial conditions. So saying: “The PBOC stopped injecting liquidity, therefore Chinese whales moved into XRP” would be speculation. GENESIS does not need speculation. Because the actual question is much bigger: Where does liquidity go when the financial architecture changes? That is the question worth watching. III. THE PART PEOPLE ARE MISSING Here is where the story becomes interesting. While the market debates whether China is buying or selling something... the payment infrastructure is changing. Ripple's own current Payments documentation now lists China's Cross-Border Foreign Exchange Payment System (CFXPS) as a payment rail. CFXPS is not a crypto exchange. It is a Chinese foreign-exchange payment system operated by the China National Clearing Center. Ripple's infrastructure now supports USD payouts into Chinese bank accounts through CFXPS. And that is not an old rumor. It is current infrastructure. The same Ripple documentation lists CNAPS, the China National Advanced Payment System operated by the People's Bank of China, as a Chinese payment rail. It also supports Hong Kong bank payouts through CHATS, Hong Kong's high-value interbank settlement system. Think about what that means. The conversation is no longer simply: “Does China use XRP?” The better question is: What payment infrastructure is Ripple connecting itself to? China. Hong Kong. The Middle East. Southeast Asia. Europe. The Americas. Different currencies. Different settlement systems. Different regulatory environments. IV. THIS IS WHERE XRP ENTERS THE EQUATION And here is where we have to be extremely precise. A Ripple payment route connecting to a Chinese bank rail does not automatically mean XRP is being used for every transaction. Ripple's current infrastructure also heavily incorporates stablecoins, including RLUSD. Therefore: Ripple infrastructure ≠ XRP usage. That distinction matters. But it also reveals something more important. Ripple is building a system in which multiple forms of value can move through a common institutional payment infrastructure. Fiat. Stablecoins. Digital assets. Bank accounts. Foreign-exchange rails. Tokenized assets. The settlement layer becomes the battlefield. Not the logo. V. AND THEN THERE IS KIMI This is where another interesting Chinese connection appears. In early 2026, reports circulated about Kimi — the Chinese AI model developed by Moonshot AI — generating bullish XRP scenarios. Some reports attributed forecasts as high as $8.5 under an extreme bullish scenario. But there is another correction GENESIS needs to make: Kimi is not Alibaba's AI. Kimi is developed by Moonshot AI. Calling it “Alibaba AI” is inaccurate. And an AI model producing a price scenario is not evidence of institutional Chinese positioning. It is a model output. Nothing more. That makes the story less exciting for people looking for a pump. But much more credible for people who understand information. Because the real question isn't: “Did Chinese AI predict XRP at $8?” The real question is: Why are Chinese AI models being asked to model XRP at all? The answer is not necessarily mysterious. XRP is a large-cap digital asset with an established market, extensive liquidity, regulatory developments and a narrative directly connected to cross-border payments. AI models will naturally incorporate those variables when asked to forecast the asset. So again: Interesting? Yes. Proof of Chinese institutional accumulation? No. VI. THE CONNECTION IS NOT PRICE. IT IS SETTLEMENT. This is where the average crypto investor loses the plot. They see: China → XRP and immediately think: “China is going to buy XRP.” That is retail thinking. Institutions think differently. They ask: How do dollars move into China? How does yuan liquidity move outward? How are FX transactions cleared? Which entities provide the bridge? Which assets can settle 24/7? Which networks can connect regulated institutions without forcing every institution onto the same balance sheet? That is the real battlefield. And Ripple's current infrastructure is now explicitly connected to Chinese payment rails. That is a fact. VII. THE MAP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE HEADLINE Look at the architecture. China CFXPS. CNAPS. Hong Kong CHATS. Other Asian markets National payment systems. Global Ripple's institutional payment infrastructure. The important development isn't one bank announcing: “We use XRP.” It is the gradual construction of connectivity between financial systems that were historically fragmented. And that creates an entirely different question. What happens when the assets moving through those systems become tokenized? That is where the story becomes significantly larger than XRP price. VIII. CHINA DOESN'T HAVE TO LOVE XRP This may be the most important point in the entire file. China can build its own digital yuan infrastructure. It can develop mBridge-related settlement systems. It can increase gold reserves. It can reduce Treasury concentration. It can promote RMB internationalization. It can maintain strict controls around cryptocurrency. And simultaneously... Ripple can build payment connectivity into Chinese and Hong Kong banking infrastructure. These things are not mutually exclusive. The future financial system will probably not be: China vs XRP. It will be a network of competing and interoperating settlement systems. And in that environment, the valuable infrastructure may not be the institution that controls every transaction. It may be the infrastructure capable of connecting systems that do not naturally connect. IX. THIS IS THE PART WE ARE WATCHING Not the candles. Not the influencers. Not another prediction. Not another anonymous “Chinese whale” screenshot. We are watching the rails. Because financial infrastructure rarely announces itself with fireworks. It appears as: a new payment corridor. a new settlement connection. a new bank integration. a new regulatory framework. a new stablecoin. a new FX route. a new clearing system. A new piece of infrastructure that nobody cares about today... until everyone depends on it tomorrow. THE QUESTION So forget: “Is China secretly buying XRP?” We don't know. There is no responsible basis to claim it. Ask something harder. Why is Ripple's institutional payment infrastructure now interfacing with Chinese and Hong Kong payment rails? Why is China reducing concentration in U.S. government debt while simultaneously developing alternative settlement infrastructure? Why are institutions building tokenized and stablecoin-based settlement systems alongside traditional banking rails? And what happens when these systems begin communicating at scale? Those are the questions worth researching. Because the next financial system probably won't arrive as one giant announcement. It will arrive quietly. One rail at a time. GENESIS FILE Don't watch what they announce. Watch what they connect. $GENESIS ON THE #XRPL

Stoic Insider | Hard To Kill (@StoicInsider) reported@DeepPsycho_HQ The world is chaos. That's not a theory. That's what I see daily. But control isn't an illusion. It's a decision. You can't command the storm. But you can train to stay calm inside it. That's the only power that matters. Chaos is the battlefield. Discipline is the weapon. The system will always be broken. Your response to it doesn't have to be. What do you control when everything falls apart?

PaulsCorner-VerseQuest (@TNTJohn1717) reportedremnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. The scene is not the present Church Age in normal doctrinal terms. It is the Tribulation environment, where Israel, commandments, witnesses, remnant, dragon, Beast, and wrath all come together. When Satan’s access is curtailed above, his fury intensifies below. That is not the Church’s blessed hope; that is the world’s nightmare after rejecting truth. The Body of Christ is not appointed to that hour. First Thessalonians 5:9 says, “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.” Revelation 3:10 speaks of being kept from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world. The Church is caught up before the Beast system reaches its full prophetic authority, before the mark becomes the dividing line of life and death, before the Dragon’s last campaign against Israel’s remnant, and before the vials of wrath pour out upon the earth. Christians may suffer now. They may be persecuted. They may be imprisoned. They may be killed. But that is not the same as being placed under the prophetic hour of Satanic rage and divine judgment described in Revelation. The devil would love the Church to think she belongs in that hour. Fear is one of his favourite religions. If he can make believers believe they must face his final dominion, he can rob them of comfort, joy, expectancy, and clean focus. Suddenly they stop looking for Christ and start looking for Satan’s last chess move. That is how the blessed hope gets replaced with the Beast’s calendar. But the Church is looking for the Saviour from Heaven. The rapture removes the Body before Satan’s last fury against Israel and the Tribulation saints unfolds. The Bride is not scheduled for the Dragon’s last tantrum; she is scheduled for the Bridegroom’s call. 5. Satan’s Dominion Over the Church Is Already Legally Broken The rapture ends Satan’s practical dominion over the Church’s earthly journey, but Calvary already broke his legal claim. Hebrews 2:14 says that through death Christ destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Colossians 2 says Christ spoiled principalities and powers, making a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. First John 3:8 says, “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” The devil is not waiting to find out whether Calvary worked. It worked. The blood was accepted. The tomb is empty. The Lord is seated. The victory is legal, historical, doctrinal, and eternal. That is why Satan fights like a condemned criminal, not like a legitimate king. He knows his sentence. He knows the Seed of the woman has bruised his head. He knows the lake of fire is in the Book. He knows Christ is risen. His strategy now is sabotage, not ultimate victory. He wants to blind the lost, corrupt doctrine, counterfeit religion, accuse saints, divide churches, pervert Scripture, exalt man, erase Israel, enthrone Rome, build Babylon, and make the Church ineffective. He cannot undo redemption, so he attacks revelation, assurance, fellowship, holiness, and hope. A defeated devil is still dangerous, but he is dangerous like a cornered serpent, not like the rightful heir. The believer must live from the victory already accomplished. We do not fight for justification; we fight from it. We do not wrestle to become accepted; we wrestle because we are accepted in the beloved and the enemy hates it. We do not put on the whole armour of God to help Christ win Calvary. Calvary is finished. We put on the armour because the defeated enemy still shoots fiery darts at saints walking through enemy territory. The rapture is when the campaign ends for the Church. The troops are called home. The enemy loses access. The battlefield is left below for God’s prophetic dealings. Calvary broke Satan’s title deed over the believer; the rapture removes the believer from Satan’s neighbourhood.

Royalty 👑👑 (@bash_shar) reportedCheap drones are now enough to destroy multi-million dollar tanks, and Ukraine's outgoing top general just admitted: "We're making virtually no use of armored vehicles." Modern warfare has changed. Permanently. @powerus_usa was built specifically for this moment: a counter-UAS company scaling toward vertical integration, producing drones and Guardian interceptors at scale. The old defense model, building expensive weapons in distant factories and shipping them months later, is exactly what the drone age has exposed as broken. Powerus produces close to where the threat is, at a price point the math of modern warfare actually supports. The battlefield changed faster than the procurement system did, and we're building Powerus for the battlefield that exists today...and tomorrow.

Auronhausen 💙💙💙 🧡🧡🧡 🏀🏀🏀 (@Aurondarklord) reported@zengonda @Lorgarwasright2 Energy is definitely their main problem. Power swords and storm shields can run out of juice. So can their armor. Even unpowered ceramite armor and a monomolecular sword with no power field would be invincible on a medieval battlefield though. The problem is they can't be everywhere. They can turn the tide of a regional war and ensure Christian conquest of the Holy Land (because 40k lore implies Jesus was one of the many identities assumed by the Emperor on ancient Terra and the resurrection was just him being a perpetual, so as soon as the BTs suspected that they'd decide Christians = Emperor worshipers = right side = everybody else heretics) because once they do the heavy lifting the crusader states have the manpower and logistics to garrison and hold that territory with only occasional intervention from the three Astartes to put down any uprisings or Saracen reconquest efforts. But they can't just steamroll the whole planet by themselves, how would they hold it? And if they started a centuries-long project to build a unified, world-conquering Christian empire as a kind of primitive mini-Imperium, chances are very high that the Emperor circa 1200 would come smack them back to factory settings for messing with the timeline of ancient Terra and Warp Storm them home (probably, tragically sending them through the rift moments before one of them thought to warn him about Horus). And even if they did attempt such a conquest it would get pretty confusing for them when they started marching far enough that their guys were fighting Buddhists and they realized "wait a minute, their God is ALSO the Emperor in disguise!".

Michael Brasher (@2ndMississippi) reportedToo Tired to Run Richmond, Kentucky, and the six weeks a total victory bought Richmond, Kentucky - 30 August 1862 There is a kind of victory so complete it becomes its own kind of warning, and Richmond, Kentucky was that kind. Kirby Smith did not know it yet, standing in the dust south of town on the morning of the 30th, listening to his guns open on a line of Indiana farm boys who had never heard a shot fired in anger. He knew only that the position in front of him - Mount Zion Church, a screen of raw troops under Mahlon Manson - was there to be broken, and that breaking it would open the whole of the Bluegrass like a door swinging wide on an empty room. The Federals had no business holding that ground and everyone on both sides of the line understood it. Bull Nelson's Army of Kentucky was ninety-day men, farm hands in uniform three weeks, stiffened by a scattering of veterans and not much else. Charles Cruft would say afterward that it was fifteen thousand veterans falling on sixty-two hundred citizens who did not know what war was. The arithmetic was closer to even than that. Smith brought something near sixty-five hundred himself, but the arithmetic was not the point. Cleburne's men had fought at Shiloh. Manson's men had fought nowhere at all. Smith reached the field a little after seven that morning and did what a soldier who has read the ground correctly always does: he refused the obvious blow and reached for the flank instead. A straight push up the Old State Road would have cost him men he could not spare this deep into hostile country with Heth's division still coming up behind him. So he sent Churchill's brigade under Thomas McCray west, down a hidden farm track that would come to be called, in the modest way these things get named after the fact, Churchill's Draw. Cleburne held the front and waited. It was in that waiting that the day's cruelest single moment fell, and it fell on Cleburne himself. A ball through the face, teeth lost, the jaw shattered, the man carried from the field at the exact hour his judgment was most needed. Smith's report called it a wound that cost him, at the moment of crisis, one of the most gallant, zealous, and intelligent officers of the army. He did not say it to flatter a subordinate. He said it because it was true. McCray came out of the draw onto Manson's exposed right at the moment Manson himself was shifting weight the other way, toward pressure on his left that he mistook for the main blow. A general is supposed to know which flank is being tested and which is only being teased. Manson did not. The line at Mount Zion folded inward from both ends at once, the way paper folds when you press two corners toward the middle. It did not hold. What followed was not one battle but three, fought over the same six miles of pike in a single afternoon, each one shorter and more hopeless than the last. The Federals rallied at White's Farm and lasted perhaps half an hour before that line went too. They rallied a third time on the edge of Richmond itself, at the cemetery, with Nelson now on the field in person and something near twenty-two hundred men in the ranks, some of them still fresh, most of them already broken in spirit if not yet in body. Smith formed three brigades into a single line more than half a mile across and sent them forward across open ground into what he himself, in the flattest sentence in his entire report, called a magnificent position manned by an enemy who outnumbered him. His men were too exhausted to run. They walked. They carried it in fifteen minutes. Nelson took a ball in the thigh and got away in a cornfield and borrowed clothes. The general fled the field his own army had just ceased to exist defending, and he did it dressed as somebody else. Manson did not get away. He rode into the arms of John Scott's cavalry, which had spent the day exactly where a good cavalry commander puts himself when infantry is doing the killing — across the roads the beaten army would have to use to escape. Scott's report used the word ambuscade, and it was not an exaggeration. A column of some five thousand fleeing men and nine guns rode into a fire that rolled down the line from one end to the other, and what did not fall surrendered entire. Scott called it a ten-acre lot full of prisoners. It was very nearly the whole Union command. Two days later Smith rode into Lexington to find no one there to stop him, and told the crowd that gathered that his army came not as invaders but as liberators. On the third of September Confederate soldiers raised their flag over the capitol at Frankfort, the only Union state capital a Confederate army would ever hold, and church bells rang, and Smith wrote home that he believed twenty-five thousand Kentuckians would take up arms once rifles could be found for them. They did not come. Kentucky's hearts were with the Confederacy, he wrote later, but her blue-grass and her fat cattle were not. Bragg was two days gone from Chattanooga by the time Richmond was fought, marching toward Munfordville by way of Sparta and Glasgow instead of toward Smith. The junction that was meant to crush Buell between two Confederate armies never came. Perryville came instead, in October, a tactical draw dressed as neither victory nor defeat, and after it Bragg turned south for Cumberland Gap. Smith had no choice left but to follow him home. Richmond had been as complete a battlefield victory as the war produced on either side. Nearly a whole Union army went into the ground or into a Confederate prison camp in a single afternoon. It bought Kirby Smith six weeks in Kentucky and nothing more. The men who died getting it right at Mount Zion Church and White's Farm and the Richmond Cemetery never knew that the campaign their deaths had opened would close again before winter. Kentucky would still be Union ground. ****************************** Graphics: 1) Major General Kirby Smith; 2) Brigadier General Patrick Cleburne; 3) "Cannae in the Bluegrass State" by Keith Rocco - Battle of Richmond, KY; 4) Tactical Map - Battle of Richmond

TROUBLE (@Johnny316420) reported@DethNade @BattlefieldComm They’re cooked.. it goes to show you it’s not a money thing. You can spend and support a game and EA and battlefield can’t make a game that will work right. This game since day one has lighting issues, falling through the buildings, and they patch a EOD arm smh

Alex Devine (@SwiftyLunatic) reported@BattlefieldComm Let's hope you actually fix the issues you listed! Most of the time, you just write words and never fix the issues!
