4: First one

But why? You visit that subforum all the time to maintain your own AAR!

5: Yes

Agree with all of these, but keep up the objective commentary as well as changing to the new style in 5.

7: No

Hmm.

So something like this, but with fewer place names?

Remaing divisions attack west to reach the road at Podberez'e. cross the ice and reach as far inland on the western shore as possible. North of Novgorod 310th Rifle Division will assault the Liubtsy strong point with heavy artillery support, while 239th, 191st and 378th Rifle Division will try to envelope the strongpoint at the shoulder of the Volkhov bridgehead. 45th AAA Divsion will move to east of Novgorod.

OUTCOME:
2nd Shock Army:
48th Rifle Division was unable to break the German line on the Gostilitsy-Lopuchinka road and only expanded the penetration marginal. 90th Rifle Division cleared the area north of Gostilitsy, but was too exhausted to attempt an attack on the town itself. 131st Rifle Division also ran into trouble trying to continue it's advance and didn't make much progress. 447th Engineer Battalion took heavy losses in these assaults and have been withdrawn to be reformed.
59th Army:
310th Rifle Division cleared the area NW of Liubtsy, but failed to advance along the highway to Novgorod. South of Liubtsy the enemy was pushed back to Podberez'e.
Partisans:
Additional sections of the Pskov-Pushkinskyie Gory rail line were destroyed.

I already do that sort of thing (7), just not usually, and most frequently with the big cities (e.g. Warsaw, Budapest).

Not for my benefit, for yours. More people visit the Frontroom than the TreasAARy.

That seemed fine actually, though it would have me hitting wikipedia and google maps looking for these places. Which is a good thing.

Yep, and more maps. Also, do a separate report-forces-operations-outcome for each sector, rather than having one massive report section, one massive forces section etc.

I intend to adopt a new aesthetic, so please pick your favorites among the images and I'll flip a coin between them.
