Dress in layers, you can always take them off when you need to. Your underclothes will be wet with sweat (if you sweat that is) and if these become cold you will be too, this is the hardest layer to warm back up and is extremely bad. Bring extra socks for the same reason; wet = bad. Waterproof boots or waterproof your boots with one of the readily available products (MWW carries these). For gloves I would recommend two pairs, one thinner but still insulated pair for playing and one pair for standing around. For playing, either an insulated pair of Hatch gloves or if you are cheap like me, black insulated mechanics gloves (available from MWW and now CT). Face protection is also good, I have a couple different balaclavas depending on the weather. Sometimes a toque is good enough if the wind isn't to strong. I strongly recommend a pair of thermal, qucik-drying long johns (1 or 2 piece it's up to you). You can also get those heating packs they sell for gloves and such, I never used them on my person but I did strap them to my AEG around my battery compartment and a couple over my holsters to keep the weapons warm and ready (worked well on the battery, mediocre on the pistol). The biggest key is to stay dry, the activity will keep you warm.

*EDIT* Remember Wet = Bad. Warm = Layering = Good. Dry = extra clothing.

*Edit 2* Even on the coldest game and the longest game I played I found myself only wearing 3 layers. On top I had either a 100% cotton t-shirt or other shirt then my long-john top, then my BDUs OR I had my long-john top, then a thin fleece then my BDU. On the bottoms I my underwear (can't leave home without them), then my long-johns, then sometimes waterproof pants or fleece pants (but be warned, you will sweat more in these, and as stated before wet = bad) and then my BDUs. Over this I would wear (sometimes) the German splinter winter gear (poncho + pants). Whatever you wear as you last layer you can add a water-proofing agent to the wash which can help reduce the amount of freezing cold water that enters your gear while you kneel/crouch/hide (you can get the stuff at MEC I believe, I know my local outfitters has it).
