Haha, I know.
Heck, there are TONS of strategy games of different subgenres I find really awesome - including RTT games such as DoW 2. I really like C&C4, for instance, which I find to be a great game in its own right.
But DoW 2... I don't know, it just seems a bit bland to me. For a game to focus on tactics one needs something unique to grant the variation normally provided by a strategy element (most of the time, base building and resource management). And I just don't think DoW 2 have that.
Still, each to his own, and I can see why people like DoW 2 as well.
