Help identify Old Hovertank game

Question

I'm looking for info regarding an old hover tank /vehicular combat game that I played the demo of long ago.

It combined real-time strategy base-building with vehicular combat. The player took direct control of a tank, and assaulted a succession of enemy bases. After taking out the turrets and buildings in the enemy place, you could use your resources to build a new base, harvest resources to fund a new assault, repeat ad infinitum until there are no more bases on the map.

There were multiple weapon types, and though many of the enemy units were tanks, you could also run into infantry and aircraft on the enemy side. I believe it may have been possible to jump into allied tanks as well to switch what you were controlling.

I distinctly remember purchased buildings falling from the sky, thunking solidly into the ground prefabricated.

The game was full 3-d, with several tilesets, a desert oasis tileset, and a snowy conifer forest tileset at least.

The game came out for windows 98, and was definitely part of some demo, which offered only some of the levels and missions.

Bit of a long shot, perhaps, but I figure I may as well toss it out here.

Answer

This sounds somewhat like Uprising: Join or Die.
