Well no one has mentioned “Burn and Loot” by Fireforge yet, I own that game and have yet to play it, but it might be what you are looking for as it is skirmish game that you can play larger or smaller depending on the number of points, it is terrain heavy however (part of the game is the set up of the terrain) and the rules where written in Italian first and it sort of shows rhythm wise though not horribly so. Another rule set I don’t see is Two Hour Wargames’ “Swordplay” which is a free to download skirmisher , you may want to check them out since they have rules for WWII as well: http://twohourwargames.com/swordplay.html
Kings of War, WHAB, Soldiers of God (I am interested in that one too, even though I am more of a fantasy fan), Deus Vault (again interested due to the faith system), Saga and the rest mentioned are all pretty good from what I have heard. Clash of Empires is really good if you want to have a rule set that can cross over Fantasy and Ancients. Iron Bow seems to cover nations outside western Europe which is always a plus and it is free, so you don’t really have an excuse to not read it at least. You can even change most generic fantasy rule sets (LOTR or Song of Blades and Heroes) to historical gaming simply by getting rid of the magic and none human races (you may want keep certain exotic unites like ballista, chariots, or elephants if they show up depending on what part of the world your game set in and replace the none humans with suitable historical factions).
You can check this website for more rules sets, some of them even have demo videos and reviews:
Since You couldn’t find any battle reports Deus Vault check this Finnish guy’s blog out and ask him if would recommend it:

He also has a report for Burn And Loot:
