Cool - feel free to give me any feedback. At the London D 
programmers meetup we had a tank tournament which was great fun. 
Some of the guys who came had not done D before - they were Scala 
/ Java guys - but really enjoyed playing with D by way of the 
tanks game.

There should be a video of the tournament emerging at some point 
from SkillsMatter who sponsor the meetup as they filmed it.
