Hi!

Wow, busy times on the boards.

Many thanks for taking the time to answer this question.

I need to have a particular combatant always placed on my battle grid first when selecting from the combatant menu, followed then by the remainder (5 others follow). How would you (that is, I) go about doing this?

The combatants are placed/listed in the order they are in the battle group (or group if you use the grid placement to set the battle group). I.e. if you don't show the selection and let the player chose, the first combatant is the first one in the group/battle group.
When showing selection, there's no limitation, so the player can select whatever he wants in whatever order - forcing a specific combatant first is not possible in that case.

I.e. if you don't show the selection and let the player chose, the first combatant is the first one in the group/battle group.

If this is true, is there a way to enable the selection menu only after the first combatant has been placed on the grid?

No, but you could place that one combatant on a cell via the battle start schematic before using the player cell placement. That'd not allow the player (human) to place that combatant, though.

Cool...thanks GiL.
