i like the Geo Front. In this one im would be rooting for the Geo Front/PRC more so than the CS. Best part i like is that all of the chinese soldiers can manipulate their Chi/ISP easily. a GF basic soldier(going by their fighting ability & Chi ablities) is roughly equal to a CS special forces soldier.

I am disappointed in the power armor of the Geo-Front, the drawings are great but the stats leave much to be desired given that they are 100% pre-rifts technology of militaristic communist China. Not too bad but certainly not the great.


Keep in mind that while the Golden Age of Man, Pre-Rifts, had much in the way of good stuff, not all was shiny bells and whistles. Remember that Coalition Navy stated the US Navy was still using SDC Aircraft and Aircraft Carriers (I think it was 3 of them) and had them in underground shelters prior to the Rifts. Ticonderoga might have been their only MDC carrier. So for every Glitter Boy in Rifts...there's probably 3-4 Chipwell Warmongers. :lol:

I do not believe that the Gun Master's powers are unbalanced. As it specfically states that they only apply to hand guns and rifles. Thrown weapons, bows, heavy weapons (railguns, machine guns, rocket launchers etc) don't work with this. So your 2D6x10+10 machinegun won't work with the Gun Master powers.

What I find odd though is that they are the only Geofront soldier without the Demon Skin genetic enhancement/bio-system!
