Hello fellow captains!
I received two encrypted messages in a row I was unable to decode. That's something I have done dozens of times, and I triple checked what I did on these, but the decoding means nothing...
This message, for instance:

Are you able to decode it? If so I might have done something wrong, but I really don't know what...

Did you uncheck the box to use the keyboard? Sometimes that will mess things up!

I usually check the box when I have everything set up, to type the message itself. But I will try without it just to be sure.

:) To be honest, as a french person, I usually go on a french speaking forum.

Well I tried with the box unchecked, using only my mouse, and I get the same result... :wah:

Did you set correct year by scrolling on year marker?

OK I checked, with 1940 selected, I get nothing understandable.

And did you set your enigma according to the date from the message, not the actual in game date and time?:hmmm:

Is it only this one message problematic? You don't have problems while decoding other enigma messages?

I just noticed something: I received the message on the 10th of August, but the message header says it was sent on the 20th of June, right? :o
That must be it!

That was it! With the correct date I was able to read the message! :woot:
Thanks for the hints :)

Yeah, always use the date of the message header
