When playing with weak armor teams I try not to use the apoth even if my star player gets S.I. with a missing game. I've learned through years of nuffle-o-logy that there's always a major cassualty when you already used your apoth.

But when I don't use the apothecary to keep it for further cassualties... I rarely get any other chance to use it and I finnish the game with several players hurted and the apoth services remaining unused.

I wish I could ask for the services of my apoth at the end of every game I didn't use him, just to try to recover one of my sacrificed players!

:P
