No. Napoleon used a strategy that usually always won him the battle or war. It is also how he built his empire.

He broke his military into three units. The Main unit, the Left unit, and the Right unit. When the Main unit was fighting the enemy on the battlefield, his left and right units would then come and surround the enemy from the left and right (blocking them in on three sides).

After Napoleon escaped from exile, his forces were much smaller but he still used the same strategy which also relied on perfect timing of his other two units. It is recorded in history books that his general who was in command of his right unit took a right at a bridge instead of a left and crossing over the bridge to join the battle. After realizing that he had made the mistake, the general had the troops back track to the bridge, however, it is recorded that this general and men showed up to the battle of Waterloo an hour after it had been finished.

Without his right unit, Napoleon could not fight off the three nations and lost the battle of Waterloo.

Did Napoleon lose the Battle of Waterloo because he was unsure of his troops?

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.....
