Gas Leak Cover-Up | |
| The Coldest War / int_2c7f683b | comment |
Gas Leak Cover-Up: Milkweed know a Soviet assassin with supernatural powers is going to murder Will in his home, so they evacuate the entire street to avoid witnesses and collateral damage under the gas leak trick. When the assassin does show up, he's disguised as a National Gas repairman. When the entire house and half the street burns up thanks to the assassin Playing with Fire, the government has a ready-made explanation. | |

Make It Look Like an Accident | |
| The Coldest War / int_3f0b2f50 | comment |
Make It Look Like an Accident: The Soviet assassin uses his Intangible Man abilities to reach into a warlock's chest and palpitate his heart, giving him the symptoms of a heart attack. After handing over the location of the warlocks to his KGB contact and turning down their offer of asylum in the Soviet Union, Will suffers a near fatal traffic accident as the Soviet's believe he's the last warlock on British soil. | |

One Person, One Power: As the British learn a bit too late, this is not true for the Soviet version of Westarp's supersoldiers. | |

Balance of Power | |
| The Coldest War / int_7d44b017 | comment |
Balance of Power: The Soviet Union controls everything up to the English Channel, and has continued to develop the captured Willenskräfte technology. The United States is torn by internal strife and economic depression. The only thing keeping the Soviets from conquering the British Empire is the warlocks. Who are being killed off. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| The Coldest War / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Oh hell yes. When Britain comes under attack from Soviet supersoldier infiltrators, Marsh orders the Eidolons to kill them directly. This gives the Eidolons the foothold they need to wipe out humanity. Though Gretel has foreseen that all timelines result in the Enochians destroying humanity. | |

EMP | |
| The Coldest War / int_83442cc3 | comment |
EMP: Milkweed turn Will's house into an improvised EMP bomb, among other booby traps. Unfortunately the batteries used by the Soviet supersoldiers are hardened against EMP. | |

Set Right What Once Went Wrong | |
| The Coldest War / int_93ed8515 | comment |
Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Gretel's goal is revealed to be to create a new timeline in which she and the rest of humanity are spared from the Eidolons. Marsh refuses to go back in time so that Gretel will die with everyone else, but she already anticipated this back in WW2, and points out that this way Marsh can save his daughter's life. | |

My Country, Right or Wrong | |
| The Coldest War / int_b7248073 | comment |
My Country, Right or Wrong: Marsh doesn't care that Will helped the Soviets kill all the British warlocks because he wanted revenge for the Missing, the people sacrificed by Milkweed to make the Eidolons help to win the war; it was done for the British Empire and that makes Will a traitor. | |

Shout-Out: As Marsh is flipping through the channels of a radio, he lands on one playing "modern music from a group out of Liverpool." He doesn't think much of it and flips to a Big Band station. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| The Coldest War / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Marsh ignores Will's warnings about the Enochians. Pembroke ignores Marsh's warnings about Gretel. Ironically Gretel engineers Pembroke's death because only Marsh is driven enough to use the Enochians to kill directly. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| The Coldest War / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: The full extent of Gretel's machinations are finally revealed. For example, she drove Heike to suicide in book one just so she could get a glass jar at Arzamas-16 so one of her Soviet guards would have it to drink from and be distracted from their escape. Although it's no news that she sent German bombers to kill Marsh's daughter, we finally get the reason. Going back in time is the only way Marsh can save her life. | |

Naked Nutter | |
| The Coldest War / int_d8fea106 | comment |
Naked Nutter: Marsh's son John was born with an unnamed condition that has left him an Empty Shell at the best of times and violently irrational at worst. Also, he doesn't much like wearing clothes and will resist any attempts at dressing him, so his parents usually just allow him to remain stark naked. It turns out that the "condition" is being a soulless pawn of the Eidolons. | |
