Well actually, with difficulty set to medium and without any cheating,
it can still be done, but it requires a bit of skill, and a coherent
plan.  Here is what I did, Fist unload a lot of missiles into the
approaching summoner/warhammer whatever the non-warhawk guy in wave
#1 is, then as he approaches group fire him into oblivion (well
placed hits should get him out of there in at most 10 seconds).
Then circle around the mound of dirt, shooting the warhawk in the legs,
it is EASY to get behind him, the warhawk is the lamest pilot
of the bunch.  Knock out one of his legs BUT DO NOT KILL HIM.

Now march off over to the 3 other mechs, and knock out any of the
structures that may get in your way.  Now get DIRECTLY behind
one of the marauders with your turret turned about 60 degrees
or so, and shoot him with about 80 LRM's right in the back,
then go IMMEDIATELY into your main weapons group and load up
on his back.  DO NOT HIT ANYONE ELSE.  He will go down quickly
as his back is basically now ripped open, be careful NOT to hit
anyone else.  Now, get behind the other marauder and do the same,
BUT NOTE THE OTHER GUY (the warhammer/summoner whatever it is)
will wake up too, so this is the tricky part.  You have to kill
these 2 guys while they are both awake, unfortunately.  
Once these last 2 are dead, go back to the warhawk and put
him out of his (and your) misery.  You are now KHAN.

At least it worked for me....the key was you have to shoot the
"stagnant" mechs in the back, to be able to finish them off quickly
after they wake up.
