I was thinking about this the other day during an idle moment at work
Using WW2 as an example: were there any units amongst the western allies that were present during every single major battle? Maybe the 101st airborne of band of brothers fame a possible candidate?
I'm guessing it unlikely there would be many who could claim such a feat from a largely civilian force (Pilots Fed), so then it would be probs quite fitting that once the end of the war rolls around there should be a missing star or two on our decals.
Maybe the historians amongst us could wade in?
I'd be impressed if life doesn't get in the way of most of us before the final Titan falls. I'm hoping for a full set but I suspect my summer holiday plans will scupper it. As for your other question, 101st airborne wouldn't have joined the war until 1942 at the earliest so would have missed a great deal of actions. Over-glamorisation by Hollywood perhaps makes them appear to have been everywhere. As far as I know from the allies, the British 5th Infantry Division (nicknamed the Globetrotters) could be a contender. They saw action from the Fall of France, the Middle East, the War in the Mediterranean all the way through to NW Europe by the end of the war. To top it all off, they began the conflict stationed in the UK so where there as well!!
not many British infantry actions get the Hollywood treatment as of late but the recent rogue heroes series and the The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare movie
are fun favs of mine so is the old movie attack on the iron coast and of course there are the old classics like a bridge to far also which was part of the failed market garden campaign of which the 101st participated
cmdr actions against the thargoids are more in line with actions of the french resistance imo or of the RAF during the battle of britain during the summer of the 40's
which is also depicted in a classic movie of the same name

A little unrelated to the specific discussion above, but I noticed a little news widget in GalNet mentioning the imminent (explosive) demise of Hadad. Bit like a live-ticker news but in-game. Can't say I mind... (though I forgot to snatch a pic and the Titan will be reduced to rubble by the next time I get to log on... so, yeah, you might have to look for it yourself, should be at the bottom of the in-game page for the GalNet news)
Given the US missed the first couple of years?I was thinking about this the other day during an idle moment at work

Would have to be German unit, Groesdeuschtland division is about as close as you're likely to get. Even then the theatres are too dispersed for any unit to be present at every engagement, that's before considering all the last stand actions.
GD never served in North Africa and few AK units went to the Eastern Front. So there was no such unit that saw every engagement.

All major American campaigns perhaps.
Unless you can detail their involvement at Alamein, Stalingrad, Bagration etc.
Yeah, we'd have to limit it to the major campaigns of the particular belligerent, otherwise we'd have to start counting from the 1937 Japanese invasion of China.

Well I saw it go, but didn't have a chance to get any damage on it, it went down so quickly! Here's hoping fdev will remain forgiving with the rewards this titan
