Could benefit from a little more editing, & I don't see a very strong adherence to the Growth theme, but some cool ideas in here! I'm curious how this works in practice, with units going to & from their deployment zone. I can see how conflict is inevitable, but I wonder if the back & forth would drag the game out a little bit.

You're right, the growth theme isn't very strong, being only that the communication towers were "growing" in height, but that is shaky at best. I only thought of a way to improve that theme linkage after the end of submissions phase, in that the storm could grow, affecting only a small number of units initally, but growing in number of units threatened by lightning each round.
The back and forth definatley does drag the game out, again only thought of a fix after the submissions phase, in making it so there are only a set number of parts so the two armies would have to fight over them more readily and reduce their numbers, making it so that if one side is completely desimated, the other side wins automatically, which isn't teh case as of now, the game just dragging on until all 5 parts are taken to a communication tower even if there are no hostile units left to oppose them.
