The new Balance Dataslate has made some Changes to Orders.

"If your Army Faction is Astra Militarum, Officer
models with this ability can issue Orders. Each
Officer’s datasheet will specify how many Orders
it can issue and which units are eligible to receive
those Orders. Each time an Officer model issues
an Order, select one of the Orders below, then select
one eligible friendly unit within 6" of that Officer
model to issue it to. Officer models can issue Orders
in your Command phase and at the end of a phase in
which they disembarked from a Transport or were
set up on the battlefield."

But i dont see any Timing Restrictions on how often they can issue Orders ? Ursula Creed can issue two Orders. But is that two Orders per Battle Round ? Two Orders per Turn, in each Players Turn ? Two Orders per Phase, in every Players Phase ? Can she order while inside a Chimera in the Command Phase twice, disembark in the Movement Phase, then order twice again ? What if the Transport is destroyed in the Opponents Turn, and her attached Unit has to disembark ? Can she issue two Orders, because it doesnt say own Phase, just Phase, which means any Phase ? When i Rapid Ingress them, can Ursula issue two Orders at the End of the Opponents Movement Phase ?

To me the solution is simple. If someone issues two orders from a chimera, disembarks, and tries to issue two more, then you never, ever, ever play with that person again.

Why would you not play against someone who plays by the Rules ? Orders can be given from inside a Chimera (in the Command Phase) and after disembarking. Notice the "and" word ?

I've highlighted in red and Italics the answer to this question.

I dont understand. My question was how many Orders can be given. Can Ursula give two Orders in the Command Phase, from inside the Chimera, and another two after disembarking from the Transport in the same Turn ?
