If I play Removing the Advantage for it's second action as a defender and I control one or more units at the current battlefiled, do I get to take a normal battle action and then be able to play a terrain from Removing the Advantage trigger resulting in having played two actions back-to-back?
Reaction: After engaging in a battle: Negate the effects of the first Terrain action or action on a Region any other player takes during this battle. Reaction: After engaging in a battle, if you control a unit at the current battlefield: Play a Terrain card as an additional Battle action.

Nothing prevents it. Yes.

Regarding this thread: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=68810 and just for clarification:
The OT asked whether he could "[...] get to take a normal battle action and then be able to play a terrain from Removing the Advantage trigger [...]" (emphasis mine)
From http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_A#Additional: "When an action or triggered trait grants an additional action, the timing of the additional action is delayed, such that the action is taken once the action or trait that granted it has ended, and the opportunity to play Reactions to the end of the action or trait has passed." (emphasis mine).
Wouldn't that mean that playing the terrain must happen when the reaction ends, and therefore before his first opportunity to act or pass? As the ruling stands, he gets to play his normal battle action before the additional battle action granted by Removing the Advantage.

Clarification: I was focused on whether you got two actions, and didn't notice the proposed sequence.
The Terrain must always come first.
You still get two actions in a row, though.
