Stuck on 24a - " Fighting that isn't for poltroon keeping end on line (4,3)". I have:
M---,W-R
I assume the second word is WAR, but if the first is MAKE or MADE, I don't see how it parses.

Thanks, I had CHARMERS, not CHANCERS, for 17d.
Glad I could help.

I have CHANCE RY for 17d
I guess 'poltroon' indicates 'coward', and 'on line gives OL . But I don't quite get how it all hangs together.
I assume 'end on line' is L [the front end, rather than the back end of the word 'line' and taken together with COWARD [poltroon], you have the anagram fodder for COLD WAR.
