I haven't checked up on the rules in 8th edition yet, but I'm about to play my first game of 8th edition and I am a little confused as to how my order's work with my guardsmen in the trenches or my vengance weapon battery, or my imperial bastion. Can a Platoon Commander issue order's while in a fortification like a vengance weapon battery? Can a unit receive any orders whilst embarked with in a fortification like a Bastion? Or even the trench defense network? Agis defense line? What if it's an order from an officer standing outside of the fortification issuing the order to a heavy weapon's team ontop of the fortification... which, crap is still technically embarked.

My understanding is that if the orderer or orderee is inside a box of any kind, they cannot issue or receive orders, respectively. Exceptions are made using strategems but those only apply to chimeras.

Thank you, so the trenches and agis defense line I can issue order's normally. I imagine this applies to the models ontop of the "boxes", as per they are traditionally counted towards the occupancy level... or do they?

Correct: it only becomes an issue when they are embarked in a box of any kind. The Chimera is an exception because you can one of the codex stratagems to order out of it, or the "Emperor's Blade Assault Company" which has a warlord trait that let's officer issue orders out of a transport. There are no such options for fortifications as far as I know.

Now when I have my guardsmen all cozy inside of a fortification, can I use their Ballistic skill for the Quad gun's & heavy bolter's, ect? A lot of stuff is different from 7th ed.

I think having a unit embarked let's you choose a target for the guns (otherwise they have to target the closest viable unit) but at the bunkers ballistic skill. But I don't have the rules at hand and it might have been FaQ'ed since I last looked int taking some.
