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.
I tried searching for this and going over the rules to try and make sure I understood this.
If I play Ambush, the actions that I play during the 1v1 battle don't count towards meeting the requirement to play Ring of the Void, do they?
example:
I play Ambush and perform 3 other actions during the battle. That wouldn't allow me to play Ring of the Void, would it?
I am assuming no, but, because the battle is taking place during my action phase, I was having some doubts.

Ambush creates a battlefield and a battle. It does not create an additional Attack Phase. It is still the Action Phase, so actions from Strategies count with Ambush towards the Ring of the Void.
See Battles: When a battle is created in a phase other than the Attack Phase, rules for taking actions during Combat Segments override rules for taking actions in that phase, but it is still that phase.
