Here I was thinking in 21st century logic that you could repeatedly press a character as if it were electronic, and it would repeat the same encoding. I'm not sure if that made sense, but I've worked out what I did wrong :p
Basically you cant start trying to decode your message again (if you muck up half way through it) unless the "Walzenlage" are in the correct beginning position.

Is it naughty to use the previous message reel code to encode another? :hmm:
RBFD VANC ZJGP BTKM KDME JSIS XQWO ZWSH GKU |
I have no idea what that means. 
I don't think I'm decoding it properly. |
hmmm, I redid it about 5 times to make sure I got it to work.
Using the 27th setup for the enigma, did you start with RBFD as the starting point, then decode VANC to get the new starting position of the rotors to decipher the message from ZJGP onwards?
I copied the same method you used for "GOCANUCKSGO"
I'll try it again this morning when I have time to set up the Enigma again.
I am a noob at this, its possible I did it wrong. |
Nono. I did it wrong, somehow.
I rechecked all my settings, they were right. I guess I set the starting point wrong.
Anyway.
