Near as I can tell from the picture on the store flyer, you have:

March: three chevrons
Broken: buncha arrows scattering
Assault: big arrow forward
Overwatch: targetting symbol
Special: !
Immobilized: a lightning bolt (?)

Most of these people can probably figure out... I'd guess that special
orders vary per unit type.

Dunno that one, but I'd guess GW wants us to buy more orders dice...
personally, I'd be content to make use of my counters:
Advance = March
Charge = Assault
First Fire = Overwatch
Fall Back = Broken
upside-down counter = Immobilized
Snap Fire = Special (Snap Fire order counters from 1st ed.)

Or use scraps of paper for the last two. <shrug>
