well, aslan have this whole "Men to Manly Jobs, Females do Everything Else" thing, which means that their warriors are in it for life, with all the accumulated experience that implies.
However, their clan structure means they are not actually very good at the strategic or even operational level, as the Hierate as a whole doesn't fight, just the clans actually on the border, with a slight boost form the ihatei in the area. Historically, during the Aslan Border Wars, the cans fought and made peace individually, and were on average about as strong as the pocket empires that were left by the collapse of the Rule of Man. once the 3I showed up, things started to go badly for them, as they couldn't match it in scale and co-ordination.
in short, they can win battles, but struggle with winning wars. the Hierate is just as disunited politically as the Vargr Extents, the difference is the Aslans have a unified culture to sorta hold them together.
