I think stratagem support would be great for giving punch to our middle-of-the-road options, and is in line with GW's current design philosophy. Take the Battle Cannon- it's supposed to be versatile. So, provide a few strats to represent different ammo types. Maybe a High Explosive Rounds strat to increase number of shots against multiple model units, or an Armour Piercing Rounds strat to increase damage against units with SV 3+ or better.

More generally, GW rules writers could stand to learn a bit about probability. The Vanquisher is clearly supposed to be good against single big targets, but is significantly worse at doing so than even the battle cannon. So making sure that your specialized options are probabilistically better than other options would be a great start.

GW rules writing team, if you're reading this I can recommend some excellent modules on basic probability on Coursera.

It may not hurt to try them depending on urgency but official advice is call 911 if it's a life threatening situation. The OSPCA says they answer during business hours. Also is your first number right? It's 7772 instead of 7722.

The history behind this is that the OSPCA decided to stop enforcing animal cruelty partly due to a court finding they were incorrectly given enforcement powers without appropriate oversight. The government then replaced them with its own agency but there are limited numbers of officers and police will likely be quickest in an emergency.
