The decoding process takes more than 1 step:

This is one of the sites I found some messages to practice on. I think I decoded this one. There is a codebook that is an additional download which I'll include when I get to my other work laptop. Unless the link is in this message somewhere. I see you have been to the one of the same sites. It's really interesting how the machine technically works. It has like three or four different mechanical levels that need to be addressed (set-up) then you ignore the first cluster of letters and start your decoding. Again, if we could somehow incorporate any level of enigma into the game it would give us Kaleuns something x-tra to do on these long patrols.

As long as we are talking about coded messages.....can anyone please explain how would I actually use the "Safe communications" ability of my radio man?? In what situations?? What happens if I don't use safe communications??

Agree.

@Maki4444
I would say everything the radio man sends is safe communication. Assumption: the more he sends in a given interval of time the more increase the probability to get enemy contacts.

Here a link to one site with an Egnigma Sim.

He also has a Code Book tool, to make your own key books.
