I doubt the army would surrender so it would be a bloody grind eliminating them unit by unit and there would be a lot of civilian casualties. This not something Harry has faced before, it has always been take out the bad guy and game over, or the battle is away from civilians, like Raith Deeps. A victory but NOT a clean victory is on the cards.
I actually think that is where Little Chicago will come into play, and Harry will need Bob, running the mopping up operation making decisions to save a Hospital or a suburb from Fomor action, when he doesn’t have the forces to do both.

Mab has LC ver 20 and doesn't need LC Prototype 0.

You think Mab would take something dear to Harry and make it her own against his wishes? She would not!
She would send Lea to do it. Someone fixed it for Harry when they realised what he was building, and how useful it could be in the future, with proper updating and all the bugs worked out. If I were Mab though, I would extend it to include Demonreach and the area around the BFS Fortress. This may be where Bob comes face to face with Mab and with the White Council, the former always knew where he was and the latter never realised DuMorne had swiped him from Kemmler. Even Eb doesn’t know about Bob, which might be his undoing.

What? I think Harry would be much more familiar with Snow Queen that with Frozen. And he would have thought on Snow Queen as soon as I heard of Frozen, same like I did long before watching the actual movie. The question about freezing the heart is much more in point for Snow Queen that for Frozen.

No I think that the next one he built would model the world and be made of crystal.

--- Quote ---Mab leaned over, opened the box, and obligingly touched the ring. It immediately buzzed and the room filled with a swirl of music, as a woman’s voice sang, “The snow glows white on the mountain tonight…”
I shut the box on the sound and eyed her. It was just possible that I’d already heard that song enough to make my teeth itch.
“Now I understand,” I said drily.
“You are welcome,” she replied.
“Just out of curiosity,” I said, “is it going to be possible for her to freeze someone’s heart and turn them into an ice statue?”
Mab looked baffled. “Those are the powers in the motion picture. Should I have cheated her?”
I rubbed at the spot between my eyes. “Got it. We’ll go someplace nice and quiet to play with this gift.”

Emphasis added. It's clearly a direct reference to Frozen, Harry is clearly familiar with it, and Harry is clearly concerned about damage to third parties.
Is Harry familiar with the tails of Hans Christian Andersen? He probably should be because they fit the same time frame as the Brothers Grimm, so his stories are likely just as real in Dresden Files. The problem with assuming Harry is familiar with them is that Harry's not as familiar with a lot of things as he should be. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if Harry skipped reading a lot of fairy tales for research purposes and just asked Bob about this or that. He probably "read the cliff notes" version of a lot of the supernatural education most wizards get, so he wouldn't necessarily link one story to another just because they are vaguely similar. (Bob really is an amazing resource that probably pushed Harry ahead by years, maybe decades, of where he would have been if he'd had a more traditional wizardly education).
To say that Harry hopes Maggie will freeze emotion from his heart is stacking assumption on assumption on assumption. The last assumption contradicts at least two statements from Christmas Eve. That's why I said:
