After i play a battle strategy, can I then use Scouting Far Afield to get it back from discard pile, put into my hand and use it again in the same battle?

Scouting Far Afield 0GC Battle: Bow or destroy your performing opposed Personality: Put a target Battle strategy from your discard pile into your hand. If your performer's Force was 6 or higher when you chose him, you may take an additional Battle Action.

No. Actions can only be used once per turn. This doesn't reset just because a card leaves play.

In regards this ruling, since the retrieved card goes face-down when it enters your hand what's preventing it being reused?

Nothing. Sorry, I forgot that it goes into the hand. Oops.
