Is there a way to preset the initial deployment on some maps

I was trying to find an option for this, but I couldn't; I was making a D-day Normandy game with my friends, and looking at the map I assumed that some would be attackers and some would be defenders. However, when the game started, we were spread out completely randomly like any other map. Is there a way to customize initial territory deployment that I'm not aware of?

short awnser no.
you dont play sides in any map. it is more like risk then axis and allies..
whenever a side is sown on the map, it usually has to do with victory conditions or bonussess

You may want to check out a map like Feudal War then. Every player starts with a castle and attacks outward from there.
