List of Major Power Subcommands For SPAM
Major Power Subcommands For SPAM
Thanks to the SPAM sub-mod for BTA (please read its entry in the FAQ for details about the sub-mod and what it does), BTA has now added a large volume of Major Power Subcommands to the force lists for SPAM. What this means is that, for the 12 factions listed here, each has a number of subcommands that replace the main faction's forces in combat. Effectively, what this means is that when you fight one of these listed factions instead of fighting their general "House Davion" forces or whatever, you fight one of these subcommands (or a mercenary command that supports them, as per this page: https://www.bta3062.com/index.php?title=List_of_Mercenary_Factions_For_SPAM).
Important note: each subcommand has been given an unofficial "rating" between elite, regular, or garrison. This rating reflects the level of technology that the subcommand has access to, with elite rating representing the very finest cutting edge technologies available to the parent faction, regular rating representing the general technology level expected from the parent faction, and garrison rating representing the less good technology available to the faction. Note that this is still within the expected scale of the parent faction (so the Marian Hegemony's elite rating subcommand isn't going to have Word of Blake level technology, it'll still be appropriate for the Marians in general).
The list is organized by "parent" faction (i.e. the faction that the subcommand is part of, so a subcommand listed under the Capellan Confederation heading can be found as a SPAM replacement on missions against the Capellan Confederation). None of these subcommands work for anyone other than their listed master faction. Finally, *all* of these factions are true and canon BattleTech military commands, all of which have backgrounds that can be found on Sarna for your reading pleasure.
