Is there anywhere to see what games have been played and what were the results?

I don't mean player records, but a quick scan to see game results.

I am so glad that you asked because that is a very handy stat to have. There were monthly reports done for the TS games but the HPS games have been a puzzle. We often don't know which scenario that we are playing because the game doesn't tell us. Even opening the game file with Notepad quite often still leaves us guessing as to which scenario that we are playing. That means that HPS games registered up till now are at best 'hit and miss'. It would help if the game actually told us what scenario that we were playing and in simple English (not some 26 digit code). With that help, it would still be a problem due to so many scenarios available but it (isn't Ernie 'it' nowadays) could be programmed to be collected if someone desired.

I can see where it would be a problem for campaign games, but that shouldn't be an issue with stand alone games.

That's true, but is there a value in just capturing the standalone games? I would wonder what the ratio of campaign versus standalone games are up to this point. I would think that the bulk of HPS games have been from a campaign. I would also think that most of the scenarios that have been played have only been played in a campaign.

You can get all the information about the games/scenarios played from the Records section.

Go to the REPORTS area and select ALL GAMES. Enter the dates you want and you get a complete report. You can save the file, import into EXCEL and sort for the scenarios.
