@sapient:  Not all of those titles are sRPGs.  You're mistaking TBS for sRPG.

In most cases the distinction is completely arbitrary. Unit levels were in strategy games long before role-playing games existed.

Unit levels aren't the difference between TBS and sRPG.

Please, do elucidate the distinction for me.

In an sRPG your units are unique and go with you.  In a TBS, you make/create new ones.  

In Fire Emblem, Lyn/Kent/Sain all travel with you from map to map.

In Advance Wars, your Infantry and Tanks don't--you make more of them each time.

That's the big distinction between the two to me.
