The history behind Marshal Ney at Waterloo - he was about Third in command and commanded the Left hand colums, they were responsible not only for attacking Wellingtons center but also Hougoumont Chateau and La Heye Sainte, he gave orders first for an advanced party to attack and take L.H.S but they were driven back, after he was responsible for a couple of attacks on the British/German flanks, also he led the charge with the French cavelry units against the combined British quares, then he was given orders direct off "Boney" to lead an attack on L.H.S and only then did he drive the KGL out due to them running out of ammo.

Yes this and the time and manpower expended attacking Hougoumont, which was doing exactly what Wellington wanted it to do, presenting an obstacle to any attempt by the French to outflank the allies. Typically the French tried brute force of the massed columns against a veteran unit of the Guards who knew the destruction platoon volleys could do.
