If the player being harrassed by the MM kills the monster, the other player get to place it again in position to attack the original player.
Thus, a huge advantage comes from the first die roll and the placement of the monster. Considering the small size of the armies, that might decide the game right there.

Initial placement is before the OM placement and therefore before d20 for initiative.
But I see the concern. I will create a Map Monster Placement Zone (MMPZ) near the center of each map. The MM must be placed in the MMPZ if possible, then in the other valid spaces per previously explicated rules if it can't be placed legally in the MMPZ.
