All,
I find my resistance weakening to the gorgeous late 14th century figures from Khurasan. But, I have no idea what I would do with them. I don't want to do armies, nothing more than maybe two dozen figures per side. What is out there that will give a good, involving skirmish game, either solo or two player?

The group I play with is quite happy with Lion Rampant. Units of 6 cavalry or 12 infantry (alternatively 6 foot knights or men-at-arms). Play is fast and easy, rules are readily available from Osprey Games. Armies will tend to be a bit bigger than your target of 24 per side, as that would be about the smallest number of troops you'd need - most armies would be larger than that, up to around 50 or so per side.
10 years ago, I was quite keen on the GW Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game, which was scenario-driven and very adaptable for all sorts of troop types.

Another vote here for Lion Rampant, but it is unit based.
If you're looking for something more individual-based, you might try Chevauchee: http://www.wargamevault.com/product/181483/Chevauchee-Medieval-skirmish-campaigns
I haven't used them yet myself, but I have used the same 'engine' in other rules and they're quite clever. The beta rule set can be downloaded here (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1461/00/1461003656759.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiPl5f49PnbAhVGfMAKHdzTAqcQFjADegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw1KEq6ZOuXn3XCHPkELU0NH), so you can try before you buy.
The full rules are much expanded and include a thorough campaign system.

Take a look at Outremer: Faith and Blood, published by Osprey.
Its a few figures either side with a campaign included. It is set during the Crusades, but I'm sure it can be easily modified to suit your needs.
