In the game · 6–11 October

Armored Combat Team Manager runs War in the North the same week. Four stages, four days — each pays double toward a fresh event sheet that starts empty for every club, veteran or new. Finish the week and the 2026 shield is yours; it's never awarded again.

Payday runs the finale weekend: double gold Friday 6 PM through Sunday.

The marks

Tiwaz · Uruz · Thurisaz · Algiz · Sowilo — victory, strength, force, protection, sun. The Valknut is carved on the Stora Hammars I stone, Gotland, c. 7th–8th century. The Helm of Awe on the shield is from the Galdrabók, 17th century — worn between the eyes for victory.
