Can Sauron play the Retreat combat card when a retreat is impossible, such as in mountains?
The rulebook says a card is always discarded even when it has no effect, and the battle then goes on.

Yes. Sauron may play Retreat even when it cannot take effect, for example in a mountain region. The card then does nothing, and the battle continues with the cards as played. Strength on the piece still counts, and the battle is not cancelled.
