The Battle Info Tab tells the Online game important information about your scenario, e.g. cards, medal count and who goes first.
It also has some information to help those decide whether to print out the scenario and play face-to-face.
The first time you click on the Battle Info Tab, it should look like this.

The results for the Online game used to have a problem with games where one side wins but the score is the same. (Ex: Allies needed 7, but had 6, while Axis won with 6, making 6-6.) This seems to have been fixed under your Officer Career and its spreadsheet.
