I need a new RTS to play while I wait for Starcraft 2!

I enjoy the 'build a thousand units and rush the enemy/turtle shell' type game play within an RTS.

I have played and would like to play another RTS similar to these:

Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars + Expansion
Command and Conquer Generals
Red Alert 3 (+all the previous games)
Battle for Middle Earth 1 + 2 + Expansion
Warcraft 3 + Expansion
Rise of Nations
Rise of Legends

I'm not too keen on games like Dawn of War 2 - far too few units and far too tactical for me. I spent a good 10 hours on this game to try and get used to it but it just didn't feel fun. I enjoy tactics to a certain point, but they shouldn't dominate an RTS.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Total Annihilation + expansions with the TAUCP installed (lots of units and AI boosts).

Nothing quite beats a turtle lined with rapid fire long range artillery while you eventually decide to build an army :p
 
Don think i have ever NOT recommended Company of Heros but i am going to now.

Seemed to ask specifically not for this type of game, otherwise I'd have recommended it myself, it's just a level above any other RTS on the market.

If you want something simpler, how about a slight change of tack- go for Defense Grid on steam, you turtle and have to defend. As an RTS fan, id recommend it.
 
absolutely loved cossacks but then they ruined it by having to drag around extremely slow cannons which would take forver to get there.....i need to find my discs to install it again.
 
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance will blow everything else you've ever played out of the water.
 
Dawn of War 1 (+expansions)
I believe that this was less tactical, or at least I didn't use much when I played through them.
