Where are cards at different stages?

Rule 1.6.1
A card is played by placing it face up in the playing area or by showing it to the other players and placing it face up in the ash heap.

Rule 6.2.3. Resolve the Action
If the action is successful (all block attempts were unsuccessful), then the cost of the action is paid and the effects of the successful action take place. If the action is blocked, then any card played to take the action is burned (it is moved to the ash heap) and the blocking minion is tapped and enters combat with the acting minion (see Combat, sec. 6.4). The effects of the action do not take place when the action is blocked. Note that the action's cost, if any, is only paid if the action succeeds; the cost is not paid if the action is blocked. The costs of action modifiers and reaction cards are always paid when the cards are played, regardless of the success of the action.

When are cards from a succesfull action moved to ash heap?

And how dose 1.6.1 and 6.2.3 not contradict each other?

What cards are played into the play area and what cards are played into your ash heap?

Is card moved to or from the ash heap when an action is first blocked and then the action
is continued by some card in combat?

What if the card aint in the Ash Heap anymore when the action is continued?

The Limbo-ness is also in the Detailed Play Summary. www.vekn.net/detailed-play-summary

Jesper's comment of why does this not contradict rule 1.6.1 still stands as that implies
play card
move to ash heap

as instantaneous stuff.

1.6.1 in the rulebook definitely contradicts the Detailed Play Summary. The rulebook indicates cards can be played directly to the ash heap, the Detailed Play Summary indicates cards are always played to the playing area. Which one is correct?
