Ok for solo play then?

Yes basic Impetus  is ok for solo, but like I said not as satisfying!

Not sure if they’ve been mentioned, but Commands & Colors are very popular.

DBMM, ADLG and Big Battle DBA are the popular sets in New Zealand, with MM possibly the biggest.

I play a bit of TTS as well which is a great game.

Most played wargame, I've used Impetus and DBA sized elements, didn't bother with hexes that often, just put a dot where the middle of the hex was.
And the rules are now FREE!!!

Rally Round the King by Two Hour Wargames. It's Fantasy but they released a supplement for historicals with 150 different army lists. It's currently OOP but I think if you ask to Ed who is a very nice guy, he will sell you one rulebook.
Ed sold the rules to Rebel Miniatures. They sell the PDF for £10
