Figure placement at startup?

[Hurdoc]

I have read the rules to the Samurai boardgame and it seems you place the initial figures, but in the games here, the figures are placed randomly? Is that just for ease in the web-based format, or am I reading the rules wrong?

Never mind, I found the answer in another thread. :D

Yes, it's also listed in the "Play-by-Web version changes" here: http://www.mabiweb.com/modules.php?name=GM_Samurai&op=description
