The following Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game is a pleasant example of a quiet assault upon the enemy King, preceded by a useful pawn sacrifice. White's 12th move started the whole thing.

White's material advantage is enough to win. Black battles back, but falls victim to checkmate in the process.
This will not save Black from the tactics.
