After beating Front Mission 4 (which was agonizingly easy but thoroughly enjoyable), I was left completely without a decent Tactical RPG. I bought Knights of the Old Republic but the fact that you have no actual control over the game killed it for me. Even rudimentary combat controls would have made this one of the best games ever, but there is nothing I hate more that being a spectator to combat. Here is a list of some of my favs. Please suggest something to alleviate my boredom.

Brigandine - One of the greatest RPGs Ive ever played

FF Tactics

Front Mission 4

Shining Force - Havent played the newest ones but this may be the dial-a-attack rpg I can stomach

Ring of Red - Interesting take on tactical rpg

Ive been playing Fable recently and have enjoyed it a lot. RPG elements with some control over the actual combat system or dial-a-attack system with heavy strategic involvement. I prefer the small unit to small unit attacks ala Front Mission to the grand wars and limited controls of Dynasty Warriors but could be persuaded to change my mind for a solid gaming experience.

Games to avoid:

Anything in the Final Fantasy Series - enough is enough

Kessen

Dynasty Warriors series

Romance of the Three Kingdoms series

Many Thanks
