In general, it is advised to place your units closely together (so that they can 'cover' each other) and far from clusters of enemy units. You should generally spend some time devising your engagement plan, considering the order of your units while you position them.
Importance: The initial deployment stage is critical for the success of the battle. Having a zone-control unit, like a Skystriker, in the first turn-slot of your team is a good idea. This should be taken into account when positioning low-Armor allies close to high-Strength enemies. That is because you do not know the enemy unit initiative order. However, movement ranges are not shown, so you will have to memorize them and try to keep a safe distance from enemy units. You can view any unit's stats and abilities by clicking on them. Enemy team: Take your time to examine the enemy team units and their deploymenent. The criteria to assess the deployment zone difficulty are, firstly, the number of available tiles for deployment and, secondly, the neighboring sub-zones where you can deploy your units in robust formations without having enemy units in-between. Difficulty: The zones are presented in approximate order of difficulty, with the top-left (bottom-right) considered the easiest (hardest). 
Deployment zones: The figure on the right presents some of the most typically encountered zones, with blue tiles enemy units might be positioned in any of the grey tiles. When you are done positioning your units, click on the Ready! button (top of the screen) to proceed to the Battle. Click on any ally unit (or on its portrait) to select it, and then click on a valid blue-tile to place it. The enemy-unit positions are revealed and you are required to deploy your units anywhere you want on the zones marked with the blue tiles.

There are only a few instances where this happens, triggered by story-related events. Forced Heroes: In some special battles you cannot remove certain heroes from your team a message will appear if you try to remove them. This can give you a significant first-hit advantage: If your style is aggressive, you would want to use a high Strength warrior in this slot, like Gunnulf or Hakon. 
First Turn: When a battle starts you are always given the first turn your leftmost hero will be the first unit to move and attack. Typically, you want to have your 'damager' (high Strength) units acting after your 'breaker' (high Break and Armor) units.

You can have up to 6 heroes in your 'roster', which displayed in the top row of the screen. Here, you can select the heroes you are going to field in the imminent battle.
