Space Battle is a play-by-mail game that was published by Flying Buffalo beginning in 1980.

Gameplay

Space Battle was a game between two teams of ten players in which one is the commander, with a base ship and three battleships, and the game is won when the opponent's base ship is destroyed.[1]

Reception

Sam Moorer reviewed Space Battle in The Space Gamer No. 50.[1] Moorer commented that "Space Battle is a disappointment to Flying Buffalo's customers, who enjoyed their classic games. This one lacks the balance and fascination of StarWeb or Battle Plan. It might be interesting to a wargaming club. They could get together to discuss strategy and tactics, coordinating their movement. But the average PBMer won't find the trip worth the fare."[1]
