I see several tactical games. You may try Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, which were technically 7 and 8 in the series for all that they were the first released in America. They're a bit different style than Advance Wars 1 and 2 or FF:TA (for the most important, losing a character is permanent - no Phoenix downs or KOs for you), as well as being closer to high fantasy than either of the other three. Other good turn-based tactical games include Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 1 and 2, which are more mecha and sci-fi in scope. It has a bit of customization of the suits as well, with funds you receive through the missions. I don't know; you mentioned not liking turn-based RPGs, but you didn't mention disliking AW at all. All of these games are serial RPGs from mission to mission (except FE7, which had a world map; the others have branching stories, but they come back together), but gameplay is closer to FF:TA or Advance Wars than to FF4, for instance. If you want to give them a spin before buying them *cough*, this is an emulation forum first and foremost.
