If you affectionately call your army "the thin [insert provincial colours here] line" you just might be one.

if your cavalry come in two kinds: those with guns and those without.
If you can't convince the voters to accept your view, and you take to the gun, you are by definition anti-American.

If you think that big blocks of infantry with combat detachments are unfluffy because the Empire is all about "...the regular trooper, with a gun", you just might be a gunline.

If you've spent more money on a big bucket full of dice than you have on melee troops in the last few years.

You might be a gunline if...

...you roll more dice than a wood elf in the shooting phase.

You might be a gunline if...

...you run out of targets to shoot at.

You might be a gunline if...

...Chosen of Khorne Chaos Knights survive your barrage, turn your flank, and mow down your unarmored handgunners like grass under a thresher...

...you just might be a gunline.

You might be a gunline if your movement trays are 1 model deep by 10 wide should you ever feel the urge to use any at all.

You might be a gunline if you'd rather face Chosen Knights of Khorne than a huge swarm of Zombies.

You might be a gunline if you spend more time trying to find someone willing to play you than actually playing.

You might be a gunline if you have more Hochland Long Rifles than your opponent has artillery models.

You might be a gunline if you're army's innactive until turn 3.

You might be a gunline if you model trenches for your troops to "Deploy" in

You might be a gunline if you have more "Powder Monkeys" than cavalry.

You might be a gunline if your cavalry is made up of Engineers on Robo horses.

You might be a gunline if you give your stanks names like "Rommel and Monty"

...if your smell of cheese attracts Skaven
...if the Skaven player says "gosh, you have a lot of shooting"
...if you get punched in the stomach every time you play
...if people just cant seem to see the fluff behind 6 artillery pieces and 60 handgunners led by a Wizard Lord

You might be a gunline if...

Upon moving your troops, you are often surprised to see the real colour of the terrain underneath.
You keep your "gunmetal" colour paint in a jam jar.
The hills on your terrain have actually been worn down to the same level as everything else.
To you, the movement phase is a quaint formality.
You have never been laid in your life and are over 30.

Or better, once you move you realize that the entire board has faded over the years except for a several bright, colorful strips on your hills, all roughly 20cm x 200cm wide.
