    <subsection title="What its about?">
      <p>
        Milestone 2 of Feuerkraft should present a fully playable
        game, it might be short and the missions might be simple, but
        beside that it should be fully playable and provide a
        challange for the player. Milestone 2 should also give an
        introduction to the overall story that will be part of
        Feuerkraft. The characters that one will meet in M2 might or
        might not be the same as in M3, this has not yet been decided.

  <section title="Milestone 1 - Drive Demo">
    <p>
      Milestone 1, also known as Drive Demo provides a simple drive
      around on the map, no missions or anything, just simple driving.
      It provides an intro the the lock and feel of Feuerkraft and
      presents a few special effects. It isn't meant as a game, but
      simply as a techdemo. No scripting support is available and no
      multiplayer.
