No, I do not think that is the case. Quite simply he has the force to defeat what opposes him: Wellington. Despite the weather, and the lack of mobility this means for the artillery. He has ample cavalry & plenty of infantry. What he does not have is the force to defeat the British & the Prussians, but he has detached Marshal Grouchy to keep the Prussians at bay.... Has anyone seen Grouchy ?? No: I am not blaming Grouchy... Napoleon had no Plan B.....
