Minsk 44 Campaign Anyone?

[Lowlander]

Playing as the Russian Minsk '44 Byelorussia.
l have a question for Sgt Fury regarding historical set up and the option to place units elsewhere at start.
If l accept the Strategy option and place units at a different location at the start, will they be on map and available to move at beginning of campaign, or will this cause a delay to the arrival of these units.
