      calles action(), maneuver() and canFire() methods of all the ActionpointControllers in level.
      Only one instance of MasterController is to be placed in level.
      If no MasterController is initialized, none of ActionpointControllers will work.
      Example:

      @code
      <Pawn position = "100000, 100000, 100000">
        <controller>
          <MasterController>

        </controller>
      </Pawn>
