To get awards fast and easy (for example, "You built 50 Neotanks", etc.), make a map where the enemy is not a threat and  give yourself plenty of bases and cities. Play your map and set the funds to 9500G per city. Start building to get awards quickly. If you want to get awards for destroying enemies even faster, surround them with units to kill them fast. For example, if you want destroy a lot of tanks, surround a large group of tanks with Megatanks. Make sure to surround the large group of enemies with units they are weak against.
