A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Hi again!
After seeing your response in this thread and reading the rules written in the Wiki,I saw this:
Resolution Segment
Effects “before a battle resolves” happen after the Combat Segment ends and before the Resolution Segment begins. http://rules.l5r.com/Battles
This looks to me like the same timing.It looks like 'after the Combat Segment ends' = 'before the Resolution Segment begins'. I thought that part of making easier Samurai edition was the end of the numerous different timings.I recall of reading it somewhere some time ago. Since after the Combat Segment comes the Resolution Segment,I don't find a good reason having 2-3 different timings between them.
So the question now is:Have they changed the way timings work?
Do you think it would be better if I asked about it in the "Designated Thread: SE Comp. Rules/ Rulebook: Troubleshooting " thread?
Thank you for your precious time!

You'd be far more likely to generate meaningful feedback in the Troubleshooting thread, yes.
This is a forum for answering rules questions, rather than for critiquing the Rules Design and Samurai Design principles, philosophies, and execution.
