I would recommend Impetus. 6x4 table is perfect for nice size battle, large bases make for a good look on the table.  I love the system.

Nobody has mentioned Vis Bellica yet. It's a 20 year old ruleset but if you ask the author nicely he still has copies to sell. It's worth a look. I am sure Westbury won't mind me saying that it is one of the rulesets he is currently looking at and playtesting , so he will have an opinion on it fairly soon, one way or the other.

Nice thing about basing on 40mm is compatibility with lots of different systems. You can play WAB, HC, Age of Hannibal, et al (as well as all the DBx games) without rebasing.

I usually go 40mm wide and about 60mm deep nowadays to accommodate for the tendency for 28mm mini's being larger.

It gives a little more wriggle room so the mini's can still be seen to 'talk' to one another in the ranks.
