Card Text: Battle: If the enemy leader has taken any battle action during this battle: You may take two additional battle actions after this one. You will not take any other additional battle action this battle.
Does the last sentence mean that I will take no more battle actions, or that I can't take any additional battle actions?
Examples: In the first case: I play One Action, Two Strikes. I play additional action 1. I play additional action 2. I am forced to pass for the rest of the battle.
In the second case: I play One Action, Two Strikes. I play additional action 1. I play additional action 2. My opponent takes an action. I take an action. If I were to play something like Unstoppable Power, it works, but I don't get to take the additional action. Play continues in the same vein.

You may take further normal battle actions; you can't take battle actions as additional actions.
