GASLIGHT: Mana from Heaven

It's been over a month since we gamed at my house. That drew everyone out of their dark holes. With 8 players, I decided to return to an old favorite: GASLIGHT.
A meteorite chuck-full of X-Matter broke up and fell to Earth over a small Belgian town. The Great Powers sent expeditionary forces to claim the rocks. That much of the mysterious substance would power a a whole fleet of airships!

Amazingly, all but one contraption rumbled to life on the first turn, even notoriously fickle beasts like the Killenkanner and the L'Roue.
Both sides quickly grabbed pieces of X-Matter closest to their baselines. The Unicycle Uhlans, seeing an opening, dashed out the last piece near the bridge. Unfortunately for them, X-Matter's properties are not follow understood. It had quickly mutated an otherwise harmless river eel into a giant monster!
One Uhlan was devoured immediately.

Two groups of Germans were caught in the open and shredded, but the Anglo-French force lost a a walker to the accurate fire of the Lady Hussar's Electro Cannon.
Meanwhile, more struggles for the Hun. The Killenkanner crashed while trying to cross a rickety bridge while the Wespe fell from the sky, failing it's "Sustain" with a roll of 20.
But, the Unicyclers rallied and valiantly charged the Beast. It fell under the repeated thrusts of their lances, but not before taking a few cyclist with it.
As the night drew late and the Chiefs game suddenly more interesting, we called it a draw and opened a bottle of spirits.
