Wargamers nightmare

This has really nothing to do with anything but I thought I might share this for the laughs. It is only on rare occasions that I remember dreams or nightmares - and I'm not one of those people who have a little notebook where I write down what I've dreamt. Most of the time I forget the dreams after waking up anyway. Today I just had a completely random dream that was related to wargaming.

For some reason I dreamt that I had taken not only one but two large commissions, and as dreams go - it started without explaining why or how - I just found myself in my room staring at a huge pile of plastic Napoleonic sprues and small indiscernible metal models. I could just feel the panic rise as I thought "how the hell am I supposed to paint all this crap?!" while also thinking about the long painful hours of doing those two orders before being able to go back and paint my own stuff.

I have nothing against Napoleonics, but I get a headache just thinking about painting 10 blocks of 50 infantry men each – all featuring the time consuming color of white (painting Austrians would kill me).

That's what I get for googling around and checking out Napoleonics before going to bed.
