I think the 2mm corners are best for ASL purposes. I used 2mm for my kit as well.

Here is pictures of all counters (all nationalties) that have been trimmed down about 1mm with sharp pro-scissors the last 30 years.

Now this is really funny!
Just a few hours ago I used this exact type of axe!
Not to clip counters, mind me, but for firewood. Yet still...

Get adhesive nose pads for glasses.
Stick them on tips of the tweezers and clip off the excess pad.
The pads help to grip a stack of counters.

Real men trim, not clip.
Now I have, at least, a template on how to organize those counters, another thing I have been struggling with.Here is pictures of all counters (all nationalties) that have been trimmed down about 1mm with sharp pro-scissors the last 30 years.

Also, consider this stuff:
It's my ASL best friend. You can put a ball on the back end of the tweezers (Gleaned that idea from Jim Holt). It's great for grabbing a hard-to-get counter or pulling a concealment counter off the top.
Or a very tiny dab to hold an overlay down. Also great for holding plexiglass in place. Plus, its reuseable. It'll last you a long time.

Visit the Central Texas ASL web page for several ideas on counter storage.

Technology has improved since I clipped my ASL set decades ago.
I also do clipping commissions

Really real men don't give a rat's a$$ about the counters and just read the rules.
Or substitute: " Those too uncoordinated to trim or clip" for " Really real men."
All I ever do is trim the little bits off the corners with a toenail clipper, never tried to round off the corners. [I'd botch the job]
I would rather spend a little for a new toenail clipper with fresh sharp blades and save money for the modules to come!

I'm glad Darryl posted for the silent majority who play the game as intended (counters with ragged tree stubs and sharp corners :- ).

A.1 DICE: A set of four dice of different colors is included in ASL Module 1: BEYOND VALOR.
Wait, what how who ……………. Four different coloured dice…… battleschool ones all the way…….

The 3mm takes just enough extra off 5/8" vehicle counters to make them fit completely inside a hex, just. Nice when vehicles are side by side and keeps them from intruding on neighboring counters.

Unless you buy both 3mm is too much for the small counter.The 3mm takes just enough extra off 5/8" vehicle counters to make them fit completely inside a hex, just. Nice when vehicles are side by side and keeps them from intruding on neighboring counters.

Hmm, obviously a matter of taste...
