The rule will tell you exactly how long it lasts, check the SW codex page 62

I'm curious if it only works during the assault phase, not how long it lasts.

So does that mean it's only in play during assault, or the other phases leading up to the next assault phase ?

Do you own the codex? It is made very very clear in the rules of the standard when it kicks in, what it can be used for and who can use it.

It's not the size of the blade, it's how you use it.

I have the codex and read the rules. I'm looking for some help interpreting it... I've seen it played different ways so some solid clarification would be appreciated.

1) Is it the next assault phase?
2) If 1) is yes, this is how long the effects last for - this assault phase

It is remarkably clear. The only bit people get wrong is they dont read "next assault phase", and assume they can unfurl the banner and have it work in the same assault phase.

Just to add to this, it says you can use it once per game but does not specify when. So in theory, you can declare it in that turn's shooting phase, and "the next assault phase" is the one of that turn. This is part of why there is so much confusion.

I don't know how it has been standardized elsewhere, but in my group it is generally accepted that the declaration of a banner is the last action of people's shooting phases, and I always state it like that: "And for my last action during the shooting phase, this unit of Grey Hunters will look at their Wolf Banner to get inspired for the next assault phase."

Which is correct, in fact you could even use it in the current assault phase to effect the next assault phase if you happen to be locked in combat.

Using it in your opponents shooting phase, while legal and will effect his assault phase is a double sided coin; on the one side he can choose not to assault that unit, thus wasting your standard. On the flip that could make your opponent not want to assault that unit, thus letting you shoot and charge them. It is a knife-edge balanced risk/reward
