you have to play quick
Build as usual for like the 1st week or two. buy ak\'s as usual..pistols..etc..
Then use the reserves and save up max turns.
When ready sell EVERY weapon..buy nothing but thugs. scout 9 turns per area buying thugs after each scout. Just make sure you save enough to have at least a pistol per thug by the time you run out of thugs..this maximizes you being able to pull alot of whores in. Works quite well, specially in CH when one has 7300 turns to spend.
