Does anyone have an example of a battle we've lost because we didn't ship our armor fast enough to the theater???

Bataan, 1942.

You did ask.

I am not aware of any effort to reinforce Bataan with armor in 1942. My understanding of the history was that the decision was made early on not to reinforce Bataan but to organize a defence of Australia. I believe that decision was made when Eisenhower was in war plans.
