Turns out you don't need Hamachi.  Port forward the RTS port, and everything works just fine.

Hamachi gets around firewalls. Many firewalls will stop direct connection (especially wireless networks iirc)

duh? you can type in the users IP in the new game menu of RTS. as long as you know the ip and the port is open nothing else is needed. good job. ill come smack you for this duh moment later.

In my world, port forwarding is actually easier.

Serious security flaw much?  I never really liked Hamachi, and that was one of the main reasons.

...and this is a duh moment how?  Before I figured this out with Bret, all I saw were people insisting Hamachi was required to run.  L2CGDForum, n00b.
