Rules Q&A

• Q: "Permanent Encampment + Seven Waves Mercenaries: Can either or both move onto a personality in the current battle from outside the battle?" "Yes. Nothing limits the transfer to the same location (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Glossary_T#Transfer or card text)"
  Since Transferring isn't movement, doesn't the fact that Permanent Encampment targets mean that you don't meet the first part of the Rule of Location (1. A card in a unit must be at the current battlefield to be targeted by a Battle action.) whilst the action being printed on Seven Waves Mercenaries means you don't meet the second for them (2. If a Battle action is on a card in a unit (a Personality or attachment in play), the unit must be at the current battlefield in order to take that action.)
  A: Correct. You cannot satisfy the exception to the Rule of Location by transfering an attachment into the battle; you must move its unit. Alex Jones, "A few questions and Rules and Opinions", 17 Sep 2009

  A: Yes. Nothing limits the transfer to the same location (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Glossary_T#Transfer or card text)
  Additional: Although nothing limits the transfer to the same location, in this case, targeting is an issue; see posts below. Zen Faulkes, "A few questions and Rules and Opinions", 17 Sep 2009
