The Stash

Every gang has a hidden stash. The stash is all of their product on hand. The value of the stash corresponds to how much product they moved in the previous turn, so a large successful gang will have a much more valuable stash.

The location of your stash is secret and known only to you. Similarly, your rivals' stashes are hidden from you.

To steal a stash, the stash must first be uncovered, and then it must be successfully raided.

Discovering Rivals' stashes
The best way to uncover a rival's stash is to place a snoop in the location.

It is also possible to uncover a stash if you have a dealer in the location, although this is a small % chance each turn.

Once you discover it, you still need to win a raid in that region.

Having your stash discovered
Every turn that goes by, your stash becomes less secure and the chance of a bandit raid increases. After about 8 turns, the location of your stash is common knowledge and bandit raids are very likely. To 'reset' the security of your stash, move it.

But, there is also a risk associated with moving your stash. On the turn that you move it, it is vulnerable and the chance of bandit raid goes up for that turn only.

Therefore, there is a balance between moving your stash too often and not leaving it in place too long.
