If the Allied Powers control the Philippines for the entire game, when does The United States get their FOW research roll?

RE: Question about Victory Conditions
How about we abandon vc and go for a straight capture two capitals? One of those capitalsites for the allies has to each Tokyo and one for the axis has to be Moscow. Calcutta would not count.
I think the two capitals could be a good goal, but believe they should be specific, such as:
Allies Victory: Control Tokyo AND Berlin OR Rome.
Axis Victory: Control Washington AND London OR Moscow.
This would force both sides to take a capital across the ocean and another major capital. The downside to this approach would be that the Pacific board is not emphasized by the Axis.

RE: Question about Victory Conditions
Problem is that this allows the allies to completely abbandon 1 board and focus on only 1.
The Pacific board prevents UK and US from completely abbandoning that board and focus on germany first. Germany cannot hold out if India focusses its power against the middle east and afrika, while the US builds 100% atlantic and moves its pac fleet to the atlantic at the same time. Round 4 there will be a huge fleet near gibraltar and round 5 you will face landings all over the place.
It basicaly comes down to 120income VS 60 income a round. After US gets in the war it will be even worst.The Allies still have to win by controlling Berlin, Rome and Tokyo, so I don’t see how the Allies could possibly ignore one board. And by having the Axis win one side and partially another side keeps their attention on both boards.

Question about Victory Conditions
The current OOB victory conditions seem a bit slanted towards the Axis. The Axis need to either win 8 VC on the Europe board or 6 VC on the Pacific board, which seem to sway the Axis player(s) to abandon one side of the board. I’m relatively new at A&A, but that observation seems to match what I read on this forum.
Question - What if the Axis had to win one of the two following ways:
Control 8 VC on the Europe board AND 4 VC on the Pacific side (one more than half of the needed VC)
OR
Control 6 VC on the Pacific board AND 5 VC on the Europe side (again, one more than half of the needed VC)Controlling an Axis capital would also be required as in the OOB version. This should force the Axis to focus on the whole board, as the Allies always need to do.
We will be game testing this version soon, but I wanted to get some feedback if there was any. Thanks!
