The rules for multiple attacks do not change for minis, relly. You can
attack any target that you threaten with any of your attacks. The only
thing you may not do is move and then use your itterant attacks.

The other thing you should not do is put the formorian giant in an
army. Yeesh.

From the rules pamphlet:

"You can wait to see the result of the first attack, then make the next
attack against a different creature if you wish." (p. 17, "Multiple
Attacks")

The same text is found in the Miniatures Handbook, p. 93, under "Full
Attack."

Can you make one attack, then take a 5-foot step, then make another?

Ahh, the rules for five foot steps, however . . .

. . . and stop baiting me. I don't eat your troll food.

Unless it's got barbecue sauce. I love barbecue sauce.

What about ice cream? I need ice cream.

Not with the barbecue sauce.

With the yummy, tasty trolls. :-)
