Re:
Old apple games. Gary Grigsby's North Atlantic '86 and Reforger '88 would yield some orbats and strategies. Can still play these games with emulators. Larry bond's older harpoon versions might also yield some atlantic scenarios.
Baltic falls first followed by Iceland and Faroes. Once lost, this gives a base for Soviet backfires to stage anti-shipping attacks on cross atlantic resupply/reforger convoys or US CVGs.
With the distance to Bergen, it makes more sense for Soviet airborne landings in Scotland to capture a port and try to fight their way south. Problem is that like WW2, Britain would have committed the greater part of its strength eg armoured to defend mainland Europe. Once that happens and the strength gets depleted, maintaining adequate defence across the British isles won't be easy.
