[Haboe]

You are attacking a castle or town, you have no way of getting into the castle, you still have a part of your army.
Should you be forced to retreat?

Yes
No

already stated rule. If you can't attack you must quit. Already happened in 2-3 strat battles on NA side (last round I believe). I don't believe this needs to be "ruled".

Attackers MUST attack. If unable to, you have to quit.

It is considered delaying to attack a castle without siege equipment.  It is not the responsibility of the defenders to come out to fight you.  However, if the defenders decide to open the gate and fight, then there is no issue.

Note that this does not apply to people who hide in some unreachable portion of a map that would not be reasonably expected to be defended.

Its not an already stated rule. Its likely the perception of a few admins, thats why it has to be "ruled" so its final 

Vote, the result will be the base for the rule ;)

No it IS a Rule. Crpg rules still apply. And that rule falls under the NO DELAYING.
Stated Rule. Not just stated, BUT ENFORCED TWICE by the Devs. It has always been a rule.

[Haboe]

Poll agrees with that, so it will be in the strat rules as well ;)

Have to admit would be really nice to see this rule get published.  You have no idea how much grief I, or other admins, have gotten for kicking people, after repeated warnings, for hiding in the corner of the map when they run out of siege gear, trolling in chat and delaying.
