Smallest skirmish map.

Can anyone suggest me the smallest skirmish map(s) in BF2 PR? It is really time-consuming to browse through all of them, maybe some of you guys are more experienced in this regard. So far my favorite is Jabal al Burj skirmish, I wonder are there smaller or about the same size. As you may have guessed, I'm looking for the smallest map for duel-match, which me and a couple of my friends are fond of.
Thanx in advance.

Probably Asad Khal or Kokan. Most of them are 500x500m aside from a few like Qinling which are actually the size of Fallujah.

Check out this gallery to compare.

I think this gallery is more recent and/or user friendly, dtacs?

Sure, I just googled 'map overviews realitymod' and linked the first hit.

Take a look at Burning Sands skirmish, perhaps Iron Ridge as well. Don't think there's any smaller. Maybe Yamalia for some trench fighting, but all in all, Skirmish is designed for 8v8 - 12v12, with such a small amount of players, Co-op might be something to look into if you're interested in that sort of thing.

One quick question from me ( sorry for hijacking thread )

Can I run these on my server? ( with password of course )

Matrox fun maps, Subpen, Test Airfield, Wake Island - those are community maps, and Ive seen UK_Force said something about it, so I'm not sure if I can or not.

I appreciate you responses guys. Matrox's maps seem to be just what I looked for, well done. Another question arose: is there a painless way to reduce the respawn time on the said maps? 30 seconds of waiting doesn't seem to make any sense on this kind of gameplay, pure waste of time. I wish I could ask this question on the relevant thread, but it's locked. So probably I'll have to ask the same question on a separate thread later.
Thanx again.

From what I recall the spawn time is around 5 or so seconds.

Sadly, it isn't. I downloaded the three maps, launched a server (the maps are listed in AAS category), my friends joined me and we played. Respawn time is 30 sec.

When I played on Matrox's server it was really short, perhaps its a server-side option?

You can edit that in your config files, just go to: BF2\mods\pr\python\game\realityconfig_local.py for example if you want to modify your server when you start it up in local mode.

All the config settings are explained by comments in the file, so it should not be too hard to edit it. Just open the file with Wordpad or notepad.

I always thought Jabal to be the smallest
