Title: Long Patrol

Who are some of your favorite Long Patrol hares? I liked Rockjaw Grang the best

Post by: Skalrag of Marshank on August 03, 2011, 08:57:25 PM
Tammo was pretty cool. I haven't read that book in a while, so I don't remember many names. Sorry! :-\

Horty wasn't a Long Patrol hare, actually.
My favourite is probably the one that bird calls 'Brigadier Wotwot' in Rakkety Tam. Or maybe Midge Manycoats.  8)

My favorite hare would have to be Cuthbert Blanedale Frunk. You can't help but like the guy.

Rockjaw Grang,
Midge Manycoats.  ;D

I think mine is rather obvious:
TAMMO DE FFORMELLO TUSSOCK!!!
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: DanielofRedwall on August 06, 2011, 04:17:22 AM
Tammo, easily. I also like Rake Nightfur from the Rogue Crew.
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Osu on August 06, 2011, 05:30:29 PM
ALL OF THEM.  :o

Tarquin is a big favorite, but Clecky was my first. Rake, Perigord, all the sergeants, Barty, Scarum.... no, nevermind, I can't name them all. I love all of the hares. They are the best. Yes. ;)

Desn't anyone else here like Midge Manycoats? He was really cool!
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Skalrag of Marshank on August 07, 2011, 02:14:55 AM
What book was he in?
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Nightfire on August 07, 2011, 01:52:14 PM
The Long Patrol. He was the master of disguse who infiltrated the vermin army with Tammo. Midge Manycoats was AWESOME!!! Definitely my favorite hare of all time next to Rockjaw Grang.
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Tiria Wildlough on August 07, 2011, 02:16:59 PM
Yes, I love Midge Manycoats.
For some reason I forgot about Tammo.  :P
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Gonff on August 07, 2011, 11:16:51 PM
Yes, I like Midge Manycoats. One of my other favorites is Tammo.

Rake Nightfur is awesome. I love how he fights with twin claymores. Isn't he the only character from the Redwall series that fights with dual weapons?

no he was i remember the end of the book it said he left with lonna bowstripe to became a long patroll hare at salamandastron
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Osu on August 08, 2011, 08:19:17 AM
Nightfire:  Barty from Salamandastron had twin short swords strapped across his back, but we never get to see him use them. I'm sure Rake wasn't the only one who went about double bladed, though...

Regarding Horty: Ohhhh I love that guy. ;D He's another one of those characters that starts out like a spoiled brat and grows into something remarkable. He was indeed a Long Patrol captain by the epilogue, "greatly admired by the young hares under his command" or something like that.

I like Dotti, Tammo, Rake, Buckler, and Maudie.

I have a soft spot for the Colonel Clary, Brigadier Thyme, and Hon Rosie trio. I love the way they're portrayed in Mariel of Redwall.

Also Finnbarr Galedeep. He wasn't a hare or in the Long Patrol, but he did carry twin weapons!
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Nightfire on August 10, 2011, 04:22:22 PM
Anyone else like Major Perigord Habile Sinistra? He's SOOO cool. I think he is my third favorite hare, right up there with Midge Manycoats and Rockjaw Grang. I love Rockjaw's accent!
Title: Re: Long Patrol
Post by: Dotti on August 10, 2011, 10:29:06 PM
I like Rockjaw Grang too.  And Perigourd is awesome!  He has an amazing name, too!   I also love Rub-a-dub (was that his name?  The hare that could only make drum noises)
Horty is pretty cool, but I find him a bit annoying at times because he's always doing stuff he's not supposed to.  >:(

RUBBADUB!!!!!!!!!! ;D he's awesome!

My vote is cast with that most infamous of gluttons, that paragon of harely virtue: Basil Stag Hare! And of course the Sergeant from Long Patrol. "I'll have yore guts fer garters, and your tails for tea."

Anybody know if that Galedeep was related to the Green Isle Galedeeps?

Post by: Taggerung_of_Redwall on August 16, 2011, 05:56:15 PM
Chances are he probably was related to them, I don't see why they'd have the same name and just not be related.

Actually, Basil was part of the Fur and Foot Fighting Patrol, a branch of the Long Patrol. He was known to be once in that position from Mattimeo.

If you read the epilogue. of loamhedge, you would know that Horty did in fact become Captain Hortwill Longblade Braebuck of the Long Patrol

Hey tiria! You have 999 posts ;D I think that's more than anyone on the site!

I think that Tammo and Rubbadub were the best, why? Because what other creature in redwall could sound better than a drum without a drum? And Tammo because, to me, he was the most realistic. He didn't have any special powers like Martin II or have martins sword and that's why he won. He had one dream from him that didn't tell him what to do, but who to ask. Also, I noticed there was no personal dispute between him and Damug Warfang. He was just an all around average hare that you always hear about in the background of the story. That's why I think it's so interesting. Mr. Jacques really got this book right IMO

Post by: Flandor on November 24, 2011, 08:32:06 PM
I love how the Long Patrol operates like a real military.  I do Civil War reenactments and it's cool to see a group in Redwall that mirrors my company for reenactment.

I liked Sergeant Clubrush, from The Long Patrol, because he acted like a father to the company which is what our Sergeant does.

I also liked Clary, Thyme, and Rosie from Mariel of Redwall, Tarquin as well.

And Basil Stag Hare.  Because he is epic.

I think Tammo is a bit overated. I mean come on, he's just a regular soldier out of thousands, leads a scouting party and fights in a battle. Then the book gives him the most credit.

The book doesn't give him most of the credit, it's just his story, so it's about him. The only significant thing that happened to him was Martin spoke to him in a dream and it said ask midge what to do. So it was Midge's plan, not Tammo's. So either Midge or Martin would get the credit for that whole idea of sneaking into the rapscallions camp. Also, the fact that he's just a regular soldier makes it that much more interesting and, if anything, makes it the opposite of overrated (whatever that word is). Think about it, he never used martins sword or killed the main villain. And he didn't become general of the long patrol after the book, just a simple, yet respectable rank of captain. So in conclusion, it was the story of a simple hare who joined the long patrol with no super powers or killing the main villain, but just his personal journey.

That's not to say Tammo's my favorite - Because while I like him very much, he's not. My favorite hare is Major What'shis name, the one in Rakkety Tam.
