It's cheap and easy to paint!
FoW rewards balanced lists. You have a very powerful tank force that on an open table could do well. Against an infantry army you will struggle though as you have very few attacks in an assault. As a quick fix, putting Tankos on every tank will help (doubles attacks and gives extra protection v infantry).
However, in a lot of scenarios you will flounder as you have little that can hold out to turn 6. If I was playing you I would ignore the IS-2 platoon and concentrate on stripping away the T34s and the CinC thus forcing a company morale check. Being trained they are easy targets for things like PaK40's and PzIV's.
For a beginner my general rule would be for a mixed company to include:
2 infantry platoons
1 anti-tank
1 artillery
2 mobile platoons
AA
A tank company would need:
3 mobile platoons
1 infantry (pref engineers)
1 artillery
AA
Hope this helps. Main thing is to have fun - if you like Soviet armour then go for it!
