My favorite battle is in Mariel of Redwall, at the end of the book where she, her father's secret group, and Rawnblade team up and battle Gabool and his searats.
My second favorite is the final battle in The Long Patrol.

I liked The Battle of the Ridge of A Thousand in The Long Patrol the most.

Oof. This is hard. Some of my favorites were probably The Battle of the Ridge of A Thousand, and the battle in the Bellmaker.

The battle at the Ridge of A Thousand is definitely my favorite battle. I think it is probably one of the more strategically complex battles that we see in the Redwall books- a lot of what we see otherwise are skirmishes, routes, and the overwhelming of small parties by large parties.


I do highly enjoy the entire campaign in Rakkety Tam, however. It's actually a series of skirmishes, but I think it does a great job of highlighting the military strategy.
