Progress!
I have sorted out what I have and what I 'need'. I need nothing...what I want however...
Back to what I have:
14 British Legion Cavalry
14 Colonial 3rd Dragoons
35+ light infantry
The fate of the cavalry is self-explanatory... The light infantry on the other hand... 15 will be painted as Legion light infantry. 15 will be painted as miscellaneous Colonial light infantry. The remaining 15 were originally a dilemma. I think the solution is to paint them as the British 16th Regiment of foot dragoons.
Cavalry
So far I have both sets of horses primed, standed and the first highlight coat painted. Tarleton's dragoons are glued to painting sticks and primed. The Colonials are cleaned waiting to be primed.
Infantry
All the light infantry has been cleaned; glued to painting sticks and primed.

Artillery
I have all the guns (2 x 12pdr, 3 x 8pdr & 1 howitzer) cleaned, assembled and primed. I have the crew mounted on two man stands with a number of singles with rare earth magnets in their bases. That allows me to add the odd man to make three crew out of two. These are all primed on their bases, but I might just glue the singles to small stands (which I happen to have) though I do like the 'gimmick' of the magnets. Time will tell. I want to find a 'neutral' way to paint the gunners so they will look fine as either Brit's or Colonials.
Tim, they call him

Once I have the rules I'll figure out what, if anything, I need to build. You & Adam seem to have lot of figures.
Well he has tons...I figured I would add what he lacks...cavalry. The British Legion was both cavalry and light infantry (and are sold that way), so rather than just toss the infantry I figured I would paint them up.
As for the artillery - Ever since my stint with the Civil War re-enactors and their cannon, I have a 'thing' for cannon.
