"Operation Reset" and "The free city of Krakow"

[Marc]

I was thinking about a post-apocalyptic equivalent of the german World War II Enigma device. Perhaps some kind of new cyphering machine suspected to exist by the NATO high command in the transmissions issued during the New Warsaw Pact counteroffensive against the III German Army push towards the Baltic Coast. The New Warsaw Pact, worried about the anarchy and growing numbers of deserting units in the Western Front, tries to reunify the communication protocols and establish a common cyphering method for the loyal units. Nothing revolutionary, but interesting enough to motivate the "Operation Reset".

But I'm not completely convinced by the idea.
