Ammo is easy.
Cities can probably be done with Lua (pre-place invincible buildins on the map that change possession if some special command is given to infantry).
General abilities can be done with Lua.

you wont be able to have general super powers.
there wont be anime characters.
there wont even be music.
there wont be capturable cities or ammo.
it will look like a generic wargame. tank. soldier. helicpter. plane.
ALL the things that made advance wars fun are impossible to economically reproduce in spring, and its a turn based game.
not trying to be a troll, just pointing out, this is not going to work..
But Advance Wars wasn't fun.
Trying to troll.
More seriously, the colourful graphics was what made Advance Wars different from other strategy games and it is what makes Advance Wars unique. Everyone turned of the "anime" animations and running out of ammo didn't exactly happen frequently. Metal spots can easily replace captureable cities. Music is missing from Total Annihilation mods too, and music is one of the things I think made Total Annihilation special.

magus, use lua to give buildings to a gaia player.. then give each sides units the tag that does not allow capture. then give all unit capture.. and BAM done.

I can model, and I kinda figured out UVmapping, I'll post a few of the units up tonight.
Currently I'm working on the Medium Tank for Orange Star I guess, hard black edges contrasting the orange metal frame.

I can do a model or a uv map or a texture or something every once in a while.. I just need a picture, never played an advance wars game and don't currently own any... >.>
Edit: Do you want them chibi-ish and kinda unrealistic, or more realistic?
Edit2: I don't guarantee anything and have no obligations, either. I just like to model stuff..
