Oh man I LOVED that game.  I knew your name was familiar and I couldn't place it lol.  Probably was the most underrated RTS game ever made.  Should have had multiple sequels. 
I used to get to tech 2 air playing my friend and just have bombers hole up in a corner. Then when he would rush me with his tech 2 ground troops id just send 150 bombers straight at his commander and blow him out of the water.  He would say "What's that blue blob?"  And I just say "planes"..... then BOOM. 
BEM, I still play OG with core contingency and battle tactics, its like $4 for all of it on steam, I played planetary annilihation for a bit, but not the same. 
But now to make it harder on myself, I play TA: Esculation   - Its essentially the OG game, with advanced AI, more balanced building, harder to win, MUCH harder to win, and also a bunch of modded in units, tech 3 units, experimental, modded defenses, etc. REALLY REALLY FUN. Feels just like the old version on STEROIDS.  Plus I think it has the unit patch on it, so it ups it to 5k or something.
