Battle Choose unit location before battle

[CheesePlant]

It's getting frustrating when my archers are stuck in front of my heavy melee so they get annihilated before their 2nd or 3rd turn by fast melee units, it would be good if we could select the starting location of our units, some maps have choke points right at the start so you can't save the archers.

I have been told that the order you choose your units determines where they end up. The first units you choose end up in the middle of the map (I'm guessing you mean this when you talk about in front?).

Yep, each of the 5 positions on the unit selection screen maps to a different one of the 5 starting spots on the fighting board.

Yes from top to bottom selection order of units is 4,2,1,3,5 so just place the units in the order you wish them to appear in the battle, starting with the first you select which would be in the middle position one.
