===Deployment===
Players do not place miniatures on the field at the start of the game. Instead, they first determine which side of the field each player begins in by having the Taisho make an Honor rolls against each other with the winner picking. Then players determine which one of them begins deployment by having their Taisho make Initiative rolls against each other. 
The player who won the Initiative roll has 30 centimeters of room on their edge of the table to deploy in, the loser only has 20 centimeters. 

Each player uses a face-down Deployment Card (which has what the Unit it represents is and contains written on one side and is in the size of the Unit footprint when placed) to choose the positions of their Units. Players take turns, beginning with the player with higher Initiative, placing cards. 
The exception to this is models which can begin outside the Deployment Zone (like ninja), which are set aside with where on the map you intend for them to [[Spanish Inquisition|suddenly appear]] written down. 

Once all cards have been placed, players then reveal to their opponent what is on the card as they replace it with models. The models must be in the same formation and facing the same direction as on the card. Harassers and solitary models can be placed any way you want as long as at least one part of their Unit was on part of where the card was. 

In this way, all you can be sure of is that there is soldiers of some kind in a particular position, not knowing what exactly they will be.
