I've heard of the Random Pairing Generator, the They Fight Crime generator, even the Random Thriller Title Generator, but...

...the Random War Generator?!

The War of Finnish Extermination

Vikings vs Daleks? I'd watch that.

The War of Jane's Foot makes me imagine Godzilla!Jane Austen.

The horror.

I wonder if Terrence Dicks thought about something like this when he wrote The War Games.

The First Belgian Civil War

...worryingly plausible as a RL event at the moment, considering the love lost between the Flemings and the Walloons...

Oddly amused by such results as the Egyptian-Korean War of Subversion

Then there was The Thousand Years' Jihad vs The Twenty-Nine Years' Crusade.

The Canadian-Sudanese War of Decimation? *gulp*

Sorry to keep editing, but... The War of Augusta's Birdcage?! LOL, must stop now.

My mind, she is boggled:

Seriously?!

!!???!!!

That's both very amusing and sort of disturbing. I got the Second Irish Jihad, which really... I don't know. I may see if I can get someone's foot or nose instead.

Makes me think of Gene Wolfe's "How I Lost the Second World War", which revolves around a boardgame simulating a world war, with the players rolling dice at the beginning to determine which countries are on which sides.

(The players in the story roll up a set of alliances that's coincidentally the same as the actual alliances of World War II, snark about how improbable some of them are, and then head off to look at an International Trade Fair where the latest model Volkswagen is being spruiked by some insignificant little Austrian chap with a funny moustache.)

I just looked at the site you've linked to - and, you know what, it's Seventh Sanctum (the one that did the History Scrambler) in disguise. So I got here first. *plants flag* ;-D

Plus, The War of Nori's Wheatfield? This was definitely some very, very minor dark age skirmish, I feel...

The Pan-British Revolt. Wait, so England and Scotland will be revolting together? Maybe it's a workers' revolt!
