I can't help but notice that all the females portrayed in this game seem to have the same "well-toned, athletic physique" as well as....err...a similar "caliber of weaponry".
Well, I guess it could happen! Maybe they tried to enhance their troops using genetic engineering, or a "super-soldier serum" and the so-called "Dust-Bust" was a side-effect! Or maybe we're only seeing pictures of the females from the Psychological Warfare Division, who are assigned to each unit to boost morale?
In any case, it brings to mind two completely shameless questions.
#1 - I know that troops being fired in the crucible of endless war would lead to tough veteran units. But if all the women in this setting look like this, and male soldiers are fighting side-by-side with them, it might give a different shade of meaning to the phrase "battle-hardened".
#2 - I thought this was supposed to be a Dystopian future?
Okay, now that I have that out of my system, um..."Reality? Check please!" I realize its a post-apocalyptic setting, and there's probably been alot of infra-structure damage. But am I to understand that all the bra factories were destroyed? (Actually, looking at her attire, underwear in general must be scarce!) Now, I realize this is science-fiction, and just art in a game, quite intentionally drawn the way it is to produce a "desired" effect (pun intended). But realizing the artist is a male, its possible that he is just genuinely unaware of certain "practical considerations". I'm a guy, so I had to have it explained to me by one of my bustier companions, who experiences aspects of life I never will!
There's a reason sports-bras were invented! Now maybe she's just lounging around off-duty, driving her male comrades crazy, but she is loading a rather impressive shell into that hand cannon, which can't be part of the cleaning procedure! So I'm going to assume she's expecting trouble. The thing about combat situations? People who "saunter" on a battlefield leave the gene pool. When moving from cover to cover, advancing or retreating, you need to RUN!!! Not only would her ample assets get in the way, it would be physically uncomfortable for her. I mean, can you really imagine her running full-out dressed like that? Wait! Don't do it...! (Sigh) Too late...half the readers just wandered off into Imagination-land.

Even in real WWII there was posters of sexy pin-up army girls here and there. So it was ok in WWII, but it's not ok in a fictional universe derived from WWII?
It's usually accepted in fantasy settings, like Dungeon and Dragons, FFG's Terinoth (Descent, Runebound, etc), to have a lot of cleavage and impossible female physique. Star Wars get's away with Twilek dancers, Star Trek with miniskirts but not Dust?
