What this picture says to me is that not only does one of our favourite devs like a fairly quirky pizza but, rather more out there, it looks like it can be ordered and delivered (or at least picked up, takeaway style) in Stockholm! That, or Podcat likes to put his pizzas in authentic-looking delivery boxes after making them
. That suggests some pretty impressive pizza delivery options

Ones such as on that picture can be had throughout most of the country in Pizzerias.

That's both very cool and very quirky
So...the DD is definitely about Italy focus tree rework with a new secret pizza war system.
Those spies in London are just a distraction.

The game is acquiring features that could work well for a post WW2 game.
A standalone Cold War game would be a recycled HoI game with less big wars.
Maybe they can add two more start dates later on, one for operation unthinkable and one for the start of the Cold War. Eventually additional DLC's would fill in later slots of the Cold War.

The problem is that Cold War scenario would not fit HoI. HoI has a slow buildup which then escalates and huge conflicts involve between major and small nations.
The entire point of Cold War is that major states never went to war with each other (excluding Chinese civil war), those conflicts were instead fought through proxy wars like Korea, China, Vietnam, Afghanistan etc.
I would really love to see Cold War represented, but I think HOI4 still needs a ton of new mechanics (peacetime related) for a fun experience of that period. Perhaps it would be best for Cold War to be represented in another game, and HOI4 left for WW2?
On the other hand, it would be nice if we had a 1944 start, a bit before Bagration and Overlord. Give Germany somewhat of a chance to defend against the onslaught of the Allies. Technology, national focuses and events would be expanded for the post-war world, perhaps as far as until 1950. That way, we could have a slight peek into the Cold War and perhaps an actual conflict between East and West.
Returning, for a moment, to the actual teaser...
Speculation: Does that "eye with X underneath" under the female agent denote, perhaps, a sleeper agent?

I think both agents have the same icon, but the female agent tooltip hides the left part of the male agent's
Yep, I think you're right - I can just see the eye peeking out. Maybe a button to send the agent "deep underground"? Or just a "not discovered" (although I don't see much point in that)?
