I'm starting a TL in which an asteroid is vital to the PoD. Would this be considered "real" AH or would i be considered ASB?

My $0.02 would be ASB, but I know for a fact there are people on this board who say the opposite..
In past AH, it is ASB, unlike in future writing it is as madmen will have the ability to cheaply aim an asteroid to do exactly at a place and time (e.g. for a yearly scheduled event) and totally reverse the odds.Gridley;4688185]Another thought: I'd avoid both the surgical strike (Wow, it just happened to hit the building in Berlin where Hitler was meeting with all the key leaders of Nazi Germany!) and the cataclysm (extinction-level-event or anything on that order of magnitude).
And one more: several people have postulated an alternate location of the Tunguska impact (hitting London, Washington DC, etc.). You might do a search for such threads
I linked over to the timeline thread you posted. I'll weigh in on the "non-ASB" side just because it did not happen in the middle of some historical event.
