Ah, the nostalgia. I remember that last year during this time of the year, I had not won the lottery yet and not knowing how exactly the combat worked in Kancolle, I planned for 6 regular ship girls who I'd always bring with me on missions, haha. Obviously it didn't end up going such a way though, and it took me quite a few months to get those 6 together anyway.

Anyway, my first 6 ships:

Inazuma (lvl 43) - Hatsushimo (lvl 71) - Samidare (lvl 13) - Jintsuu (lvl 23) - Arashio (lvl 16) - Shigure (lvl 85)

Kisaragi (lvl 73) comes after that. I do remember that I got Nagatsuki very early on too and liked her a lot, but ended up scrapping at some point when I had not bought any ship slots yet. I honestly regret that decision, she is one of the ship girls I'd have loved to keep from the beginning.

For nostalgia's sake, here is the fleet what I originally planned to use in the game:

Ikazuchi - Suzuya - Iku - Haruna - Ryuujou - Shimakaze

Not 100% sure about Haruna though, it may have been Kongou too. Anyway, Ikazuchi I fell in love with due to a certain doujin video, Iku's naughtyness I found irresistible and the others I simply liked a lot (Shimakaze in particular, was quite "special"). It took until HQ lvl 93 for me to find Iku though, despite doing a lot of 1-5, and Suzuya took until Summer Event, HQ 98. In the end, I ended up finding a total of 15 Suzuya in that event during my Amatsukaze hunt, haha... Others I found early on, and Ikazuchi I ended up marrying during last December.
