Summary0030135: Neural Bridge + Slums Compulsion is an awkward battle
DescriptionI ended up having a 40ish turn defense of the Neural Bridge. I don't know how many waves there are supposed to be, so I can't tell if that is high or low. (Displaying the wave count somewhere would be great.). There were a number of things that made it awkward, but the biggest was the lack of AP Ammo.

I forgot to pick up Prismatic Tungsten for AP ammo prior to completing the Neural Bridge. Finishing the Neural Bridge also triggered the Slums Compulsion disabling most StreetSense options. Without StreetSense, I couldn't get AP. Each wave of the Neural Bridge Defense comes with an armored cruiser, which is tedious to kill without AP. I ended up converting my bulk nickelbots to AP to solve it, but it was tedious.

Killing the Hackers on the first turn was easy, but the Snipers and Cruisers always targeted my Relays, which meant the Neural Bridge was losing connection. This may or may not have increased the number of ways I had to deal with.

Additionally, I should have also avoided putting the Neural Bridge next to my Mineral Skimmers. Losing the the mech caused deterrence to drop which then triggered counter attacks at the same time. My idea was that I could benefit from the Bulk defense, but that didn't work out.

Attached is the save.

It's on my list to make it so that you can get some of those other things, but I'm not sure that prismatic tungsten has been mentioned. It needs to be, for sure, though. Thanks!
