As headline; can anybody please point me to a (web)store where SOTQ is available from?

You will have a search on your hands. Tabletop Games never really recovered from Bob Connor's death in 2003 and the rules/figures went through several hands afterwards, none of whom seemed able to make much of a go with it.

Your best bet will be secondhand copies.

There are 2 books:
SotQ rules and "More Soldiers of the Queen" which were extended and extra army lists and information.

Is this a colonial set of a VSF colonial set, if you don't mind me asking?

Victorian/Colonial as far as I gather. Just saw an AAR of a Zulu War battle using them.

Argoner,
           I searched in my large cluttered collection of war game rules, and I found a copy. I'm sure we can  do a swap or something.

Somebody sent me a link to the 2nd book on Amazon, but the post seems to have disappeared (was a bit busy the other day, so I did not respond then)..?

Neither Bob Connor nor any of those that handled the rulesets over the years since 2003 ever paid me a penny for the copies of wargame rules they sold which I wrote originally for Active Service Press. Time after time I chased the various owners and they all denied any responsibility (and they could never tell me how many they had sold), so if anyone sees any of my old sets of rules being reprinted and sold, please tell me!!!
