\end{center}

Few initial comments:\\
This game tree presented some difficulties:\\
- a careful choiche for spacing was needed. Some preliminary calculations were indeed useful: notice that there are many branches and that the spacing between nodes lying at the same ``level'' is uneven. The goal was to get a good final distribution of spacing among the terminal nodes. See below for details\\
- the description of the game is divided into ``levels'' (its meaning should be self-explanatory, having seen the Figure)\\
- not all of the labels for branches were written: this choice was made to improve readabillity\\
- further comments, specific to some tricks used, are in ``commented'' lines
\newline\\
- spacing details:\\
I had to put 16 nodes at the last level. So, I decided a spacing among them of 80 units (each unit is 0.1 mm).\\
>From this came the horizontal space allotted for the figure: 1600 units\\
For vertical spacing, I left 160 units between any two levels. Since the levels are 5 (4 have decision nodes, the 5th has the outcomes), this amounts to 800, so I left 880 units for the overall vertical size of the figure\\
Here are the horizontal coordinates of the various levels:\\
4th level: 80, 160, 280, 400, 480, 600, 720, 800, 880, 960, 1080, 1240\\
3rd level: 80, 160, 280, 400, 480, 600, 760, 920, 1160\\
2nd level: 160, 480, 960\\
1st level: 480 (the initial node was put there, that is a little to left w.r.t. center of the figura, for aesthetical reasons but also to comply with the restrictions that the macro by Osborne puts on the horizontal vs vertical ratio)\\
