Battle Worlds: Kronos was more of a Battle Isle clone than an Advance Wars clone. Of course, there's similar pedigree so they end up similar but they're more like distant cousins than directly related.

Anon this genre is way bigger and older than Advance Wars. I think the problem with the AW clones is their creators only know or care about AW so they never look beyond it for more ideas.
At a fundamental level the Wars series concept is just "traditional turn-based operational level hex and counters wargame, except with cute anime graphics". There's about a thousand ways you could make that if you don't get hung up on the specific gameplay mechanics of the famicom wars series.
These indie game designers need more genre literacy.
