fedcom would come a close second, then Liao.
My loyalty is mainly to specific units rather than a faction, however.

I'm loyal to Liao for 3 reasons -
1. I started playing Battletech in the 80s when I was a kid, and I liked the sword emblem back then (and oh man I miss the Marauder!)
2. Underdog factor
3. A merit-based society, unlike Davion and others where you'll always be an illiterate peasant if your parents are
Clans are written in the book as a romantic ideal, kind of. I think they're awful. They take slaves, hello? Did no one else notice that?
Also, Liao has cool units like Red Lancers, Death Commandos, the Warrior Houses, not to mention McCarron's Armoured Cavalry...

After reading all the books, playing the table top, all the mechwarrior games, and having fun with the RPG, in the end it is the people in House Davion that make me stay.
Oh and the ability to crush Liao. That is a big bonus too.

Why would you choose any other faction?
P.S. FRR isn't space vikings, it's space modern scandinavia, peaceful and boring. The clan invasion turned us into space vikings.

As you can see I am a Clanner, specifically an Abtakha formally Davion now with CGBI.
With all the mercenaries running around I have great respect for loyalist units that stick with one faction through thick and thin, and do not switch sides based on how things are going for one side or the other.
As a Clansmen I understand why units in the clan dedicate themselves to one faction. It is a sense of culture, with strong beliefs about the cause, battle rituals, chivalry, and language.
I would like to know if it is the same case for units like SRoT and HHoD? Why do you guys stick to one faction?
Regardless of the reason, great respect to those who keep their loyalty no matter the faction.

Have you ever partied with modern Scandinavians? Last time I did that I ended up 3 countries over from where I started and I was wearing someone else's pants.

True story, though it was a long time ago when I was a young university student touring Europe in the summer. We started the party in Oslo and ended up in Denmark with stops in Stockholm and Helsinki . Somehow along the way my pants got shredded, backpack lost, and was wearing a friends surplus army cammo pants. It was during this time I discovered my propensity to projectile vomit when I ride a ferry while intoxicated.

312th was also a Kurita allied unit, but they are neither functional nor active in the game anymore (I understand there was a name change at some point, but still I am unsure how active they are).
BCMC was my first unit, was unallied merc unit before the tags and long, long before CW. Fell apart due to inactivity, but was also a great group of people to play the game with and hang out in TeamSpeak.
