@ Wildfin:

5. That doesn't explain where all the weapons come from. You need foundries and forges (not to say mines for getting the metal in the first place) to make the number you see in the books, not to mention anchors, cutlery, what have you - none of that's mentioned. And as for Redwall being self-sufficient - granted, but where do they farm the food from?

9. Granted, but with the casualty levels they take you think the population wouldn't be able to reproduce...

11. To be frank, this was a gag entry at best and wasn't meant as a serious question.
