I beat it on Brutal last night. There's a little trick that I learned from the multiplayer that makes the last few battles a breeze. Namely, Fire Barons. A whole shit ton of Fire Barons. These guys are waaaay too powerful to be second tier. You only have to level your stage up once to get them, they don't require a lot of fans, they are the fastest moving unit in the game, and nothing but fourth tier enemies can lay a hand on them.
People in the multiplayer have been rushing with them for a while now, so I figured I would try it out in single player brutal, and the results were the same. The AI is just as confused by this tactic as the human players. Keep in mind that this is considered bad form when playing against live people, however. People are getting really sick of the Fire Baron rushers.
Anyway, first thing that you will want to do when the match starts is play the solo to block the other team from creating units. As soon as that's done, send one group of Headbangers, one group of Razor Girls, and one healing unit to the first fan tower. As soon as you see the enemy coming play your battle cry to strengthen your troops, double team with a Razor Girl, and kill them. Once the fan tower is yours, send your troops to the second one. Plant a rally flag there and create one more group of Razor Girls. Repeat the battle cry/double team technique. Once you have that fan geyser do not attempt to take any more. Upgrade your stage to level two, move your rally flag back to your stage, and direct all of your existing troops back to your stage, as well. Now build as many Fire Barons as you can.
Once you have spawned at least three sets of Fire Barons, take your rally flag to the enemy base, set your beacon there, and send all of your troops to attack it. Never create any units that are not Fire Barons after doing this. The enemy will be occupied with retaking the fan towers that you no longer need, and won't notice until too late that you are attacking their base. Stay at the base and wait for them to come to you. As soon as you see them, play the battle cry to strengthen your troops. Follow this with the solo that changes the weather to your favor. This is important since your enemy relies heavily on buffs and debuffs, and this will eliminate all of them. Once that is done play the bring it on home solo. This will cause a massive, flaming zeppelin to crash down where you are standing. It will kill most of their troops, but more importantly will cause massive damage to their stage. Once you have played this, fly away, and play the solo that blocks them from spawning new troops.
You win. Simple, huh?
