Rolfor, no, there aren't numbers of men behind the factors. That is the way virtually all board wargames (or historic war simulations) have been throughout history. The generic "steps" actually give you a better picture of your unit than knowing how many "concrete men" you have, b/c unit strength is not determined by "men", but by weapons systems and morale, command, etc.
A one-step unit will, obviously, have less manpower than a 3 or 4 step unit and consequently be more "brittle". That is how the general viewed the scope of the operation you're fighting. "At what percentage effectiveness is 'x' division?"
Do not be led down the primrose path of extreme granularity of combat results. It's meaningless in a simulation at this scale. A unit "ceases to exist" long before its last man is killed.
