Where do archers put their stakes when defending artillery?

This is a rules clarification, generated by an incident in a game at Warfare 2017, and a reminder to Nik to look at what happens when archers are defending artillery and they have defensive stakes. Do these go:-
(a) in front of the guns (on the basis that troops defending guns notionally have their bases level with the front of the gun bases);
(b) in front of the archers, but to the rear of the guns; or
(c) both, if the frontage of the archers is wider than the frontage of the guns (ie overlapping archer bases are actually level with the front of the gun bases)?
