Summary0008364: Dwarves stop fighting after some times.
DescriptionIt's the third times it happens:
The dwarves enter into a fight because of siege/uninvited guest, it lasts for a month or more (this time it was a bronze colossus, before it was a goblin siege with armored goblins and an iron made forgotten beast) and they suddenly stop fighting and give themselves to the opponent.

They were not even hurt or tired, they simply fight for a while then stand their ground and wait, and the target was reachable.

Usually it ends up with a quick fun for the fortress.
Steps To Reproduce-Start in Fortress Mode
-Get dwarves into a squad and train them
-Find something hard to kill (bronze colossus or metal titan/forgotten beast give best result if they are harmless or your dwarves well protected)
-Make them fight and make it last long enough
-See your dwarves not attacking anymore and the creature still adempting to kill them.
Additional InformationThe marksdwarves and elites marksdwarves don't seem to be affected (but recruits are).

The only way I found to fix it is for your dwarves to change jobs automatically with their skills (removing them from their duty doesn't seem to help) or the reason of the fight to be killed (Once the fight end and they becomes civilian again they can be send to another fight.)

Maybe related to 0008342. Though in 8342 dwarves won't attack the were as a beast at all.
