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.

So you would say that Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics are not SRPGs, then, since the majority of your troops are not personalities of their own.
|
I didn't mention personality.
|
So the primary distinction is not anything to do with role-playing, but simply carrying units over between missions.

That's a different role, in a TBS you are a commander with a nameless army that you create anew for each battle. In an SRPG you are the leader of a large band of adventurers of some kind. You add new characters, but you don't just create 40 warriors for a battle you use your level 30 warrior that you created and have slowly leveled through different battles.
