"The whole is greater than the individual parts."
This list is all about the combination of players on one unit making that unit effective.
One dominating player does not necessarily make the unit dominating; although admittedly one dominating player can make up
for supposed weaknesses around him. Conversely, there are times when the right combination of good, though not
great, players make a unit effective.
As with some other lists on this site this list is subjective, missing information
and begs debate and discussion. So help me to fill in the missing gaps.
