When deploying my units I divide my units by their roles. There are main line battle troops, shooters, redirector, and problem solvers. Ideally I would like to placce a main line battle troop only after the opponent has placed one. The redirectors are the easiest to lose and so I often place them first. The shooters are also fairly disposable and so are my second line of placement. Using these I try to get and idea of where the opponent is going to fight me so I can line up my units. In most cases if possible they will pick an open field area and I will then place my units there. Finally the problem solvers often have a particular problem in mind, like cannons are the problem solver for chariots, so once the problem is placed the solver can go down. This gives me a general order for placement which I follow to try to fill the board openings so our units can slug it out.
