Unlike January, February was a much calmer month. With armies preparing for March Madness, there was less going on in the community as a whole, yet some significant events took place.

In the same way as the previous months, the Club Penguin Armies community came together and voted on their Top 5 Moments for February, via polls in the Discord server. There were fewer moments compared to the past few months, a total of 19, as February was a month between two tournaments: Operation: WinterStorm and March Madness XI.

Written by Editor-in-Chief: Kira

On February 23, Club Penguin Army Judges officially celebrated four years since its creation in 2022, marking a significant milestone for the organization and the broader army community. CPAJ was created to unify judging across the community after a period of division and controversy between different leagues and judging systems in 2021. Since its formation, the organization has provided consistent and unbiased judging for tournaments, wars, and battles, becoming a key part of maintaining fairness and structure within the community. To celebrate, Head Judge Spotty announced that they would be looking into the process of hiring new head judges and announced that the CPAJ Wrapped is soon to come. As it enters its fourth year, the organization remains an essential organization supporting various battles and tournaments across the community.

The announcement concerning the server shutdown was issued on February 5th by Justin, the Co-founder of the Army. Although it was stated that the closure was caused by the real-life obligations of those assisting with Void Troops, the army ultimately intends to re-engage with the community in the near future. Following the announcement of the shutdown, Void Troops conducted their final battle of the first generation on February 7th against the Romans of Club Penguin.

Written by Reporter: Kath

After the success of Operation: WinterStorm, Club Penguin Armies was happy to reveal the new map and launch it on February 6th. Therefore, since then, armies have been able to use the new functionalities with the newest CPA Ally, the GaryBot. Leaders are able to plan invasions, purchase equipment and supplies like planes, ships, bombs, nukes, intel, and storage, while using the newly implemented economy system. Along with that addition, there were other small changes applied to the map, like the adjacent land rule. This new interactive map is just the beginning of the new era.

On February 22, 2026, Club Penguin Armies announced March Madness XI, the latest edition of one of the most controversial tournaments. The 2026 edition features 12 armies seeded based on recent Top Ten rankings, with four armies moving straight to the quarter finals. The qualifier battles took place on March 7 and 8, with the four winners proceeding to the Quarter Finals, which are happening this weekend. In last year’s edition, the Help Force faced the Rebel Penguin Federation in the finals, with the latter ones winning the trophy, after a 3-0 win.

#1 – SWAT Shuts Down

Written by Reporter in Training: Jazmin

On 23 February, the Special Weapons and Tactics was officially disbanded after 17 years. After months of instability, frequent wars, leadership disputes, and internal discussions among key figures such as TacoDaily, Zuke, Legoman, and IsaccDaVinci regarding the army’s leadership structure. SWAT had faced difficulties since its alliance’s defeat in World War IX, which resulted in a decline in troop numbers, multiple leadership changes, and numerous internal conflicts over time. Efforts were made to revive the army through new leadership and initiatives such as Operation: Phoenix, but progress eventually stalled, leading to the decision to disband the army.

SWAT Shutdown Announcement

With the second month of the year already over, we hope that the community activity will reach January’s levels once again in March. We have already seen a war including several SM armies in March. Will March end up having more notable moments than February? Which event do you think will get the first spot in March? What is your opinion about the events of February?
