Nothingness: Do you use saved set-ups?

I remember seeing a game once between pcron and Ruth. pcron used a saved set-up and Ruth apparently determined which one and blew him right off the board attacking pieces she had never revealed. There seems to be more risk than reward in that approach.

On my end, I almost always start my games by setting the bombs/base on the back row, putting two Saboteurs on the back row, three Recons in the front row and then hitting 'randomly place remaining pieces'.

happy hermit: Once upon a time I tried to make set-ups especially designed for the specific opponent I was about to encounter. I would save the set-up so I could make a totally different one the next time I'd play this opponent. Ofcourse I didn't pursue this strategy, took too much time. Still with some opponents I make set-ups that feel odd to me and wouldn't use against others. They seem work in those cases. Ofcourse I'm not revealing the specifics :)
