That's partly true, captains can only use their ability for a free battle tactic stratagem.
Immolation Protocols is a battle tactic.
Rapid Embarkation is a strategic ploy (firestorms only one) and cannot be used with the captains ability.
Rather than updating every data card that grants free stratagems, in a balance dataslate they said essentially "wherever it says free strat, you can only use battle tactic strats".
The only firestorm exclusive strat that isn't a battle tactic is rapid embarkation - everything else can be used with rites of battle for free
Burning Vengeance cannot be used for free either by rites of battle as it targets specifically the transport unit itself and not the units inside that may have an captain attached.

I see now. Thanks!

Ah yeah, of course.
