dear commissar,
this is the third letter i have sent you. my patrol is running very low on Food, we have Very little left. the Orks have plundered some off our supplies and taken them to the river where they are camping. we managed to fight off many, but a few got away. we hope it doesn't Cost you much. ideally some Meat and Garlic would be nice, we haven't Seen garlic in a long time. we need to Eat Sir. also we have noted that that the orks seem smarter nowadays. we don't know Why but they fight more Swiftly and seem to know when it's time to Run away. they all seem to go to the direction of Regnar river aswell. we think this may be caused by something in the Water. we also can't get to the water because of the camp there, so we need that Too. anyway, enough complaining, how are you doing, is your wife ok, have you still got that Cat? he was so Very nice and cute last time i saw him. have you Still got the kittens too or did you sell them? if you still have them i'll buy one, the Fact is they are very cute. back to my story, through observing the Orks behaviour, we have collected intel about them. they seem to worship a new god, we are unsure Why but we think he's called Smork. maybe You know something about this? we need some more knife blades Aswell, ours are getting dulled and Slip through orks leaving no mark, so if we Get in a close combat we're already dead. this is why the orks are taking so much of our stuff. they Achieve so much when we can't stop them. our blades just seem so Soft. hence we need new knifes so we Stand a chance in hand to hand. we Like the design of the new blades, we just Need some. so could you Gallop on down to Meet us at our post. we have Set a pile of hay on fire so you know exactly where we are, but you'll need to be careful crossing the river so you don't Get bombardered by orks. They can be nasty and Very cunning. they sure made a Mess off the last guard they took.
Bye, see you soon.

Wow this ones difficult, I hope you can decode it but please put it in a spoiler like below.

Took me a minute to figure out the pattern, but I got it.

ORKS ARE TRYING TO TRICK YOU WITH FAKE LETTERS

The trick is to take the third letter of each capitalized word.


These are actually a lot of fun! Keep thinking up new codes

Spoiler:
Just taking the capitals out of it as they're out of place gives this:
fvocmgseswsrrwtcvsfowsyasgasslngmgtvmb

Yet I doubt that is the full message.
and taking every third of those gives you:
ogsrtswaalmv

The main puzzle format I know of is the Caeser Box method which if I used on this would not give me an answer.

But the remainer is:
fvcnsewsrwcvfosysgssnggtmb
Caeser Box doesn't really work with that either so I don't really have any idea besides that I won't solve it that way, maybe taking the third again from the remaining letters

Those would be:
cervsgnt

leaving:
fvmswswcfoysssggmb

Caeser Box not working on either again so I guess I'll remove the third letters again.
Those would be:
msfsgb

leaving:
fvswwcoyssm

Still nothing and at this point I'm thinking that I've missed it completely
But I guess I'll take the third again, just because.
Those are:
scsm

Leaving:
fvwwoysg

I think at this point I should just stop
Was I looking at it too complexly by approaching it with Caeser Box?

Locclo's answer basically answered my question, I was looking at it too complexly.

Definitely helped. I probably wouldn't have come up with it quite so quick if it hadn't been underlined.

Capital letters give 3/4 of the pattern away anyways.

XD I was looking over it again yesterday and realised I capitalised the B on Bye. I was surprised nobody had noticed so I thought I'd just leave it, lol. Heck you don't know, the guy might be called Edward or something. Yeh, that's my excuse.
