QRS??

Anyone managed to get around to replocating a decent font sized QRS that they are happy to share?
The QRS in the book is great but the font isn't doing my tired old eyes any favours

It is vital that the Errata and the QRS be in a readable format and type. One should not have to squint their eyes and furrow their forehead to read a set of rules.

Aren't wargamers known for their outstanding vision and reading ability?

You've not visited TMP lately then.
....or, more precisely, each wargamer is known in his (or her) own mind for outstanding vision and reading (and interpreting of of rules) ability unlike every other wargamer.

The quick play rules have something of a QRS in them. I hope the full QRS will be released as well. Hint hint...

I have had a bash at doing a QRS but haven't a clue how to post it here? I dont have a website which I could link it to and I dont suppose the authors would be too pleased if I took that route anyway, so what are my options in terms of hosting it here somewhere?
I'm not keen on being flooded with emails asking to post it on

Some are certainly known for their ability to read between the lines in competitions

Can you provide a link for the Yahoo group, a search does not appear to yield a result.

The font in the book suffers from malnutrition - anemically small and thin - making it harder to read than the strapping, healthy text of earlier FOG rules. What does it profit a man to have wide boulevards of white space on the margins and cheerful empty lanes between the lines whilst the text doth cause his eyes to fail and wither?
Maybe the QRS fonting could be more solid and a little bolder and hence more distinctive even if no larger.
Scaling the pages up to Letter or A4 size as well would help.
