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.
1. Which edition/arc did the Open and Battle actions were separated?
2. In light of the previous question, cards printed before carry only "Open" that were also playable during battle. As such- will cards that let me take "Battle" actions from my discard pile back into my hand like Scouting Far Afield let me take back an "Open" action that was printed before the answer of Question 1?
Thanks

Legacy rules has this "For cards printed prior to KHAN'S DEFIANCE:"
http://rules.l5r.com/Older_Cards#Battles: "All "Open" actions may be taken at a normal opportunity to take Battle Actions during the Combat Segment. Such actions must follow the rules of Location and Presence like Battle actions, but are not considered Battle actions."
Anything that refers to Battle actions does not also mean "Open" actions on old cards.
